Highly recommend - This was a wonderful experience. Ilissa was friendly and fun to be with. She knew where all of the wildlife was, and we saw it all that day - alligators, manatees, fish, birds and turtles. She showed us sunken boats and told stories of the history and the movies that were made at Silver Springs. This was the best day of our trip.

Wet Rabbit Kayaks - Our tour guide, Alyssa with Wet Rabbit Kayaks, was absolutely phenomenal. We got to check off bucket list wildlife, and learn and experience the river safely. She made our trip really worthwhile.
