Silver Springs - Josh is a great guide! We saw lots of wildlife and was a beautiful float. Saw several manatees, snakes, birds and alligators.

Great tour of the springs. - We took this tour in early March. Our guide Aly was wonderful. Great communication for the meet up time and location. Before we even left the dock we saw monkeys in the trees. Aly was very informative and we saw manatee, monkeys, and alligators. We enjoyed our time on the tour and would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

A wonderful experience - We had an amazing trip with Josh out on the Kayaks at Silver Springs. Josh was so informative and clearly knows his stuff when it comes to the area and wildlife Whilst we had an extremely warm day, so no manatees. It still didn't take anything away from the trip. Josh pointed out turtles, alligators, and bird life just to name a few. It will be a day we never forget. Thanks Josh!

An Experience to Remember - Our guide, Aly, was very informative. Loved being in a smaller group. It made the experience more individual feeling. We had the most comfortable kayaks! It would be hard to beat the location if you love the outdoors. Something to see everywhere. You may not see what you expected but there is so much to experience it's not disappointing. I highly recommend Ecoventure Tours!

Do it! - Josh took us on an amazing tour through Silver Springs in a clear kayak. We took a morning tour, and luckily the only pair in attendance. We were able to see so much wildlife; including a manatee and baby despite the warmer temperatures. It was a very immersive experience, and Josh was so informative on the park and the animals. Turtles, fish and birds were plentiful. With Josh’s experience and knowledge we also got to see alligators, snakes, and with luck on our side, manatees! Without Josh I think we wouldn’t have seen these animals on our own. I am grateful we booked with him versus going independently. I also recommend booking the morning tour, the park does get crowded as we experienced on our return to the dock.

Super fun and relaxing kayaking adventure - The guide was friendly and informative. He made the trip both fun and educational. He also went out of his way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and took cool pictures of us and close ups of the alligators. We saw many, many alligators as well as turtles, a variety of birds and ducks. We even saw a venomous snake on the waters edge.

A+ experience - What a wonderful day spent viewing monkeys, alligators and manatees on a new glass kayak. But I think the best part was the time listening and learning about the area with Aly our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and personable and the bonus was the videos /photos she shared of our experience! A+ all around!

Saw a Mom & Baby Manatee! - Josh was an amazing guide so the 3 of us had a wonderful time. The time of day made it less likely we would see manatees but Josh found 3 for us to marvel at. And being 3 women on the tour, he did a great job making us feel comfortable so we could relax and enjoy all the animals and the beautiful setting. Will definitely recommend this tour and will do another one when we can.
