Hands down the best experience in Florida! Josh was the absolute best tour guide and was incredibly knowledgeable about the area. His passion for the work he does, the nature and animals shines bright. We got to see tons of alligators, turtles, birds, fish and monkeys! Josh was very dedicated to ensuring we had the best experience, saw every possible animal and learned all the unique bits of history. Experiencing the springs would not have been the same without Josh’s guidance and company! 100% recommend booking with Ecoventure Tours!

Amazing adventure in florida! Highly recommended tour. Tour guide was very personable and made the tour so much and went above and behind to capture photography for us as well as videos with the wildlife seen on the tour. Such a beautiful and peaceful way to experience old Florida. Can’t wait to do this again sometime soon!

Our kayak tour was incredible - Aly our guide was so personable, informative and fun! We were able to get close to the manatees, monkeys, gators water birds and turtles. Our small group made it possible to go at our own pace and Aly made sure to share the pics she took of us. High recommend her as the guide and these quality glass bottomed kayaks !

Wonderful day celebrating birthdays- my daughter and her boyfriend. The weather was great. The water was refreshing and clear.
Josh was patient and so knowledgeable about the springs and the wildlife.
What a treat, we saw a manatee and he was able to catch a video of it. He was very friendly and you can tell he loves what he does.
Highly recommend using Ecoventure for a trip on Silver Springs.

Great experience from beginning to end--just enough contact and info from Ecoventures beforehand and the experience was as advertised---made even better by our guide Tania's expert guidance and providing info tidbits while paddling. We got lucky--as it was late in the season--to spot and hang briefly with one adult manatee while paddling in Silver Springs State Park.

One of the best family experiences we have had. The Sunset Glo Kayak Tour was amazing! Josh was our guide and did a fantastic job. He was able to put our tour together pretty last minute. Equipment was top notch. We will definitely being doing another tour with Josh and Ecoventure Tours!

Let me just start by saying if I could give infinite stars I would. Me and my boyfriend had the most incredible experience with Josh and it was certainly once in a lifetime. We were the only ones in this tour and he ended up taking us all the way to the national park from the launch site (Approx 4 hr), Where we got to see much more than what we expected. The wildlife was a joy to see (river otters, bald eagle, turtles, etc) and of course the water was gorgeous at all points. Josh kept us informed on what we were looking at or hearing at all times and was overall extremely knowledgeable in his craft. Along with this throughout our whole journey we made great conversations, adding even more fun to our unexpected journey. 100 million times better than your average tour and guide, and so grateful for josh and the experience he provided us. It was unforgettable and felt as if we had been transported to another world. Don’t even think just book. We will certainly be back!!! (P.s. Josh is also a great picture taker and provider!)
