My fiancé and I had the most amazing experience on our kayak tour lead by Josh! We were so lucky to be able to see monkeys, an alligator, and 4 manatees! We would highly recommend going on a guided kayak tour with Get Up and Go Kayaking. Especially one lead by Josh he was extremely knowledgeable of the area, its history, and the wildlife. We would even consider going again on our next visit to Florida!

This was such an amazing experience! It was so relaxing to get out of the “busy vacation rush” and go on this trip. It 100% exceeded my expectations. The water was absolutely gorgeous and we saw a lot of wild life! At least 15 monkeys, tons of turtles and fish. The guide was so kind and knowledgeable. The tours are small so you don’t feel crammed together or in anyone’s space. It’s very affordable and I felt like I was in a tropical country with silver sands and blue waters- so it’s so worth it.

Sam was SO friendly & full of patience/information. We had another couple in our group that had never been kayaking before. The balance between helping them & carrying on with us was immaculate. We are from Virginia & were on our honeymoon, would 100% travel back & recommend to anyone interested. We got to see some gators, natural springs & view where Creatures from the Black Lagoon was filmed. Super awesome & beautiful water!

Bry was a great guide on this trip. She was full of knowledge and kindness. Bry made the beautiful kayak trip even more beautiful. She was knowledgable, kind, and flexible to show us all the best places. We found alligators, manatees, turtles, beautiful springs, birds, and fish. We heard the monkeys when we first began but we never did find them (Bry tried to lead us down the paths that we may have found them). It was a great trip and experience. We will definitely be back and hope to see Bry as our tour guide again.

My name is Marisela and my visit was October 8th and my tour guide was Josh! I’m terrified of big bodies of water and can’t swim so this first time experience was going to determine if I ever kayak again lol Josh had a calming presence going into the tour which helped me stay calm and I ended up loving the experience. Josh was informative and allowed us all to enjoy the sounds of nature and to take it all in and just to really be in the moment. I will be going again for sure! And what really sealed the deal for me was the fact that Josh helped change my flat tire; obviously he didn’t have to help me but, he went out of his way before his next tour started. I’m so thankful for him! Thanks Josh! If there was a way to request him for my next tour, I’d do it!

I was expected a great experience here after kayaking another location. The guide had a basic knowledge of the area but did not seem to have much understanding of the Florida ecosystem. He also did not exhibit the capability of handling a group of kayakers with vastly different skill level. As a result, the advanced paddlers like myself became bored at the pace of the novices and the lack of information to keep us engaged. We paddled ahead of the group. Also, at this location, you have to carry your own kayak the down the launch dock which for the older paddlers was difficult as the kayaks have some weight.

Caitlin, If you had reached out to us earlier and not a month after your tour, we would have loved to discuss this further and offer you another tour or future discount. Every location operates differently in terms of loading and unloading kayakers, but we always try to ensure our guests are having a great time on the water. In addition, groups will vary on skill set which isn’t something we can control. Our guides try to ensure the beginners are enjoying their time while trying to keep the group close together so that all the information is heard by all guests. We hope to have you out in the future!

Josh was great he even sent us videos of the manatees underwater he took with his phone since it was hard to see them with the pictures we took from being too low in the water! He was respectful to the animals personal space as well as informative during the tour! One of my favorite thing we did our on vacation for sure!

Josh and Brandon were excellent tour guides. They helped us into the kayaks and began to guide us through the river. They pointed out all the gorgeous, clear aquatic blue springs and told us about their statistics. They pointed out manatees, alligators, snakes, birds and turtles and helped guide us towards them but staying well-enough away as to not to disturb their environment. I loved their respect of the environment.

I highly recommend this tour, and we will definitely be back!

We travelled as a family of 4, kids are 8 and 10. We were given good clear instructions from the start about how the trip would work. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave lots of info whenever we asked questions. We saw manatees, aligators, turtles, fish, birds and a snake. All 4 of us loved the expereince and agreed it was the best activity we did on our Florida holiday.

We had a great experience with Josh at Silver Springs today. He was funny, knowledgeable and did a wonderful job of finding and pointing out the wildlife. He even got an underwater shot of the manatee for us.

Highly recommend this adventure, and this guide.
