Wonderful ! - Beautiful place and knowledgeable nice guides!
We were with a small group and got to see the manatees, alligators, a snake, turtles and much more. There was plenty of time to enjoy this incredible peace of nature :) And taking this in while being on the water and paddling is absolutely time well spent. Thank you for this lovely experience and the nice pictures!

Best kayak experience in Orlando - We had a really fun experience! They are kind and helpful for coordinating the kayaks when I called after realizing the weight limits.
Our guide is knowledgeable and fun, we saw around 3 manatees, 5+ alligators, many turtles and birds. She helped get few good group pictures.
The river is quite full at the very beginning (a large groups of kids) but we made it to pass through the crowds.
The river is really clear.but It’s hard to see through the glass bottom because of the reflection.
The park is really nice, we had a nice walk along the river in the park after the kayaking.
Bugget-wise, I researched 10+ places, their price is the half compared to others and same fun (even better) experience with a group of 6 people

It well organized, signed... - It well organized, signed well, roomy stable clean and well outfitted tandem kayak. I was very concerned that a the kayak may not have a backrest as many rentals don’t. I was so happy with the great backrest which was clean , adjustable and padded. Our tour guide was Tanya and she was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and patient. She took several photos of the people in our group and auto dropped her pictures to our phones at the end of the tour. It was really nice to document our paddle and the area with a photo other than the struggle of a selfie lol. We have recommended this tour to family and friends. We will do this again.

Thank you for a wonderful experience. - Had a wonderful afternoon with Wet Rabbit Kayaks, our guide Ilissa told us so much about the Silver Springs and the wildlife, as well as the shipwrecks. The glass bottomed kayaks were very comfortable and great for viewing the amazing underwater scenery and fish, even a manatee turned and swam under us while we were stationary, that was amazing to see.
The kayak trip was definitely a highlight of our visit to Florida, and we would highly Wet Rabbit Kayaks to anyone.

An unforgettable adventure! - If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure, Wet Rabbit Kayaks is the way to go! Our tour was nothing short of spectacular—a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. To get up close and personal with manatees in their natural habitat was simply incredible. There’s nothing quite like gliding through crystal-clear waters, surrounded by wildlife and breathtaking scenery. It was truly something magical to paddle alongside these gentle giants. The entire experience was so peaceful, and the guides were incredibly knowledgeable, ensuring we had the best possible time. This trip was not just a tour—it was an immersion into nature, and we can’t recommend Wet Rabbit Kayaks enough. If you’re considering it, don’t hesitate! It’s an adventure you’ll treasure forever.
