Will definitely recommend the guided paddle tour! We had to book here last minute because another wildlife guide cancelled on us, and it turns out the official tour is cheaper and better👍 We got the crystal clear boat and it was amazing to see all the beautiful landscape water. We saw FIVE alligators 🐊 today, moving ones and still ones, and also otters 🦦, all pointed out by our wonderful tour guide Eddie, who is so friendly, professional, patient, informational and absolutely a delight to travel with. He is part of the reason this trip is so pleasant. P.S. consider wearing longer pants that are easier to dry just in case! The weather is real nice out here

We had a great time my family and I, with our guide Kevin! He was very knowledgeable of the park and the wildlife we could see such as alligators, manatees and monkeys. We were not lucky to see the manatees but heard that during the morning they were seen. We did the 11:45, 2 hours clear kayaks and it was a hot day, so that didn’t help. Otherwise great experience love the park and the springs. We did see some alligators and turtles!

I had an amazing day at the park. Relaxed with a cocktail in a rocking chair with a great view. Beautiful cool clear water. I took the kayak tour with Ed and it was amazing! The guide was very knowledgeable of the history, and very kind. He made the day that much better. We got to see monkeys, fish, birds, gators, turtles, and manatee. The up close view of the manatee and turtles was unbelievable. Literally right next to me. I definitely recommend this tour.

My husband and I were surprised our 21 yr old son (an introvert who rarely leaves the house) agreed to go with us to visit the park. Even more surprising is he wanted to rent a kayak so we did. Created very rare memories of us doing something as a family. Didn't see any monkeys or manatees. Saw 2 gators, birds, and many slider turtles.

I had the most amazing experience on a tour with Edmond !!! I booked with an afternoon group, however, I was the only reservation, so it turned into a private tour. WOW. Eddie was awesome. He was friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and all around great. I learned so much on this tour, I am glad I booked ! I will be booking a private tour for my family with Eddie. This is what customers want from businesses. I highly recommend this experience and Eddie for a tour guide. Thank you !!!!
