Loved every bit! Bobbi was excellent! 10/10 as someone that’s never kayaked would do it again!
Cameron was a wonderful guide, highly recommend booking with him. Can’t have a bad time!
Our tour guide Justin is very nice. He helped me kayak back to the shore, and even gave my kids some of his fossil shark teeth collection. My kids were so happy.
Super helpful and went out of his way to make sure we got to see and do what we wanted!! He was very respectful of the wild life and the other tour guides. He also took awesome pictures for us!
Justin made the trip. Not much to see when you get to the spring. He made the trip enjoyable

Justin did an excellent job!!!
Thank you! we are glad to hear you had a great time out on the water with us, hope to have you out paddling with us again soon!
Crosby was a great guide. Laid back, knowledgeable and was able to find us a manatee. Swimming in the spring was beautiful and refreshing. Would do again!
Thank you! We are glad to hear that you had a great time with Crosby! and that he was able to find a manatee for you guys. we hope to have you out paddling with us again soon!
We had such a great time. Our guide spent time telling us a lot about the area. I didn’t feel rushed and he even spotted manatees on the way back and let us track them! He told us about places to eat after and we tried Nortons. Thanks so much!
Thank you! We are glad you guys had a great time on tour with us! Norton's is definitely a great choice, we hope to have you out paddling with us again soon!
Bobbi was amazing! We had a great time, he was very knowledgeable and just very excited to tell people about nature and the history around the springs. He tried so hard to help us be able to see a manatee. Would absolutely go back and do it again!
Hi Taina! Thank you very much for choosing to come out with us, and we are thrilled to hear you had a great time on Bobbi's tour! He sure loves what he does!
Justin was super informative and friendly. The tour was beautiful and we had a great time (even though we didn’t spot any manatees). I highly recommend it.
Hey, sometimes we like to say, "No manatees, no problem." Thanks for coming out on the water on Justin's tour - we're so happy you enjoyed it!!
