Best Kayak experience ever!! Joyful, impressive and full of knowledge. - My boyfriend and I had the best ever kayak tour with Sassy’s Silver Springs Kayak and Paddleboard. We had the pleasure of meeting the best kayak guide – Brad – who brought incredible professionalism, passion, and patience to the tour. His love for the environment, the water, and the animals truly impressed us. With him, my boyfriend and I learned so much about the river and all the beautiful creatures along its banks. Booking was easy, and communication with Sassy was smooth and convenient throughout. She and her team gave us helpful tips and clear instructions for finding the spot. Sassy confirmed with me about the clear boat the night before we took off to make sure we got what we want. 10/10 experience – I can’t wait to see them again!

Fun, Educational, and Unforgettable! - We absolutely loved the tour! Brad was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly patient. He explained everything so clearly, and my kids learned so much from him. We were especially thrilled to see three manatees, monkeys (including babies), alligators, turtles, ducks, and large fish along the way — it was an incredible experience for the whole family. The tour was the perfect mix of adventure, education, and fun. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

Best day ever! Thanks Brad for an amazing experience! - This was truly the best day ever, all thanks to our amazing guide, Brad! The springs were absolutely stunning, and the tour exceeded all our expectations. We loved learning about the manatees and all the other wildlife. This wonderful oasis is a place we'll definitely come back to and want to help protect. Brad, a huge thank you for rescuing my red phone—I'm still so sorry about that! My advice: leave your phone behind and just enjoy the view and soak in the beauty of this place—your guide will take plenty of pictures!

Best day ever - Fantastic adventure with Maria, our guide from Sassy’s. One of our teens described it as the best day of her life. Our autistic 17 year old loved the experience. We learned lots about the wildlife and the local ecological systems. Thank you for an awesome day

Family kayaking - We had a most fantastic time today kayaking with Brad as our tour guide. To meet someone with such knowledge and dedication to perserving the wild life was so refreshing. We saw several gators, two manatees, lots of birds, fish and turtles.

Terrible - Absolutely terrible experience. I will never ever go back it’s this company. I’d rather jump into the mouth of a gator than ever book here again.
