We paddled Shell Key with RAVEN last week! She was an amazing guide and a wonderful teacher! Raven was incredibly... knowledgeable about the preserve and wildlife! The trip was more fun because our guide was enthusiastic. We did the 4:30 tour, saw the sunset, then after dark went into the mangrove cave and witnessed the miracle of bioluminescent plankton!! Raven is a gem and deserves a raise.read more

We LOVE Get Up And Go Kayaking. We’ve done two locations so far and we plan on doing a lot more. The concept of a... clear kayak is genius. We loved seeing so many turtles and fish swim underneath us, even a manatee!!!! We kayaked at Silver Springs and Vero Beach. Being out on the water, seeing the animals, being with family, and experiencing nature is amazing. We highly recommend choosing one of their locations and exploring! The tour guides are very knowledgeable and friendly which makes the tour very worth it.read more

She was very educational about the wildlife and ecosystem and explained to us a few of the different species we saw on our trip! It's also connected to a restaurant and bar with live music. Would definitely recommend for families, friends, couples or groups! We have kayaked plenty of times before but the nighttime kayak added a nice touch!read more

Todd was.....PHENOMENAL!! We did a 1:30pm tour out of Vero and it was a BLAST! One of my nephews is on the spectrum and... the other doesn’t quite have his confidence built up and just gets a little nervous and scared sometimes, however, Todd was patient and kind and took time to listen to them and make the tour fun for both the kids and the adults. When we first got in the boats we were welcomed by a whole gang of manatees which was extra exciting for the kids. Todd was very knowledgeable and absolutely amazing!

It was like we were paddling through avatar it was so amazing! The guides, liz and Angela were amazing, knowledgeable and friendly! 100/10 I’m coming back! Also, I thought their advertising pictures were enhanced... they were not! It is as bright as their pictures make it out to be... one word of caution: if u are planning to take pictures with an iPhone, I wouldn’t bother (as u will see by my pictures) u really need a DSLR to get great pictures bc u need to be able to control the f stop and iso. I have included my pictures but again: they do this paddle little justice... also, if u go in August be sure to look up bc there is the annual meteor shower... we saw 3!read more

My husband and I went kayaking today. Our tour guide, Raven, was on time and SO helpful when it came down to moving our... bags and shoes and getting everyone organized. She was very knowledgeable and funny. We had such a great group. The water is beautiful and right away we had a few birds swimming next to our kayaks. On the trip we spent time on the beach and also swam next to a few dolphins! The kayaks were in great condition and you could see great. The mangroves were pretty awesome. I would highly recommend going with Raven again!!!read more

The guides are extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and helpful if you have a less-experienced kayaker in your... group.Definitely use a DEET-based bug spray, I cannot stress this enough. The nearby lagoon is called Mosquito Bay for a reason. You will have to spray your face (close your eyes, obviously), ears and hair to keep them from biting your scalp. I am a farm kid and I have experienced mosquitoes before, and on Merritt Island they come in swarms hundreds thick.I would recommend wearing a light, waterproof jacket with a hood to keep them from constantly buzzing in your ears.I would also recommend bringing your own headlamp or a strobing light stick; you may come across other boats, and there are almost no artificial light sources on the area you're paddling.Remember, this is Florida-- you will be paddling on a wildlife refuge, and you will be sharing the river with dolphins, manatees, and alligators.I will be returning next year!read more

Tyler was our guide, and he was wonderful! Humorous and very easy to talk to/approach. The “tour” isn’t like what... you’d imagine; it really is very easy going and relaxing (although I will say there was only a total of 6 of us (3 couples)) and fun too. The three sisters springs wasn’t what I had imagine (the video on the site looked bigger) but it was still worth the price. I definitely would recommend if. Very clear water, so it is fresh water, but not super fresh where you can drink it (haha). 5/5.read more

A word of advice though to others who take this tour- and I highly recommend this tour - the mosquitos are no joke. So make sure you are well protected!read more

Had a great time this morning on the Shell Key clear kayak tour! Chase and Amber were fun and Chase was really... knowledgeable about the vegetation and wildlife. It was the perfect length of time. We saw dolphin and manatee, and my favorite part was the mangrove tunnel. I would definitely recommend this tour and plan to visit their other locations as well.read more

This has to be one of the coolest and best experiences I’ve done in my life. We had a great tour guide Austin! We had... a beautiful sunset before and got to see many dolphin during the daylight and dark. The weather and darkness was perfect! My girls had a blast! It truly was unbelievable and we will do this again. You just have to see it in person! Words can’t describe it! Truly Amazing!! So great to see all the fish shooting across the water and the manatees so close as well! Austin let us enjoy a quiet area where the girls could make light with their hands and paddles! So great! Thank you for this experience that has put an imprint on our family’s hearts forever!!read more

An adventure of a lifetime! We got to experience Bioluminescent secrets of the sea waters. Penny was an awesome tour... guide! Although our cameras could not capture the beauty of the blue glow as we hit the water, our minds captured the entire experience. Something that must be experienced in person. Pitch black, with blue highlighter type streaks of the fish swimming under us. Absolutely beautiful!read more

The bioluminescent tour experience was one of the most memorable in my life yet! The second you step into the water you... feel like you are in a fairy tale! Our tour guide, Penny, made it so much better. She was very informative and didn't make me feel bad for being a chicken in the water. She lead us to all the perfect spots to see the wildlife and taught us how to get the dolphins to come to us! I definitely see myself going to this tour again!

The bioluminescent plankton in the water is something to behold. The clear bottom kayaks help but Penny will make it fun and breathtaking as you follow her through the canals & backwater.

I am so glad I chose Get Up and Go Kayaking! Our guide, Ben was professional, friendly and very informative of the area... and I felt very comfortable and safe under his direction. My niece and I chose the Crystal Springs area where we kayaked to the Three Sister's Springs! We were not disappointed! It was incredible to see that there are protected, pristine spots in nature for us to enjoy. The area was not crowded, and at times it felt as if we had the entire river and spring to ourselves. So if you are looking for an experience in a natural environment, I highly recommend you chose Get Up and Go Kayaking. It was a plus to have the clear kayaks to enjoy the view below the boat, too. I will definitely book another trip through Get Up and Go Kayaking to explore other areas.read more

Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Austin, notre sympathique guide. C'était fut une première fois et j'étais... un peu anxieuse. Mais Austin s'est montré très rassurant et très professionnel. Nous avons eu le plaisir de découvrir qu'il est fan du PSG. Comme quoi les passions n'ont pas de frontières. Voir de si près tous ces magnifiques paysages si paisibles fut un moment inoubliable. Nous sommes conquis ! Austin connaît les moments opportuns pour expliquer et ceux pour nous laisser profiter de la paix et de l'énergie de la nature et de l'instant.Lorsque nous avons demandé s'il y avait des grenouilles, nous n'avions pas l'intention de les manger, je vous assure (lol).Nous recommandons vivement cette ballade qui sort vraiment des sorties pour touristesread more

Paddling in this crystal clear water is a real joy. The water changes colors as you go upstream making it all the more... beautiful. Out Guide, Austin, was knowledgeable and very helpful, and he spotted a lot of wildlife that we missed. Paddling is a crossover of kayaking and canoeing; took a bit to get used to but worked out fine. It was a bit cold for Florida - low '70's - so we didn't see any alligators. Maybe next time. Great experience.https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g29171-d12278155-r646797155-Get_Up_And_Go_Kayaking-Apopka_Florida.html#read more

Clear Kayak for the Clear Water in Rock Spring....So Perfect!!!Thank you Get Up and Go! My Family and I had a blast!... You helped made this unforgettable experience happened! I knew I rebooked this twice because of our limited schedule and because of the weather! But you are all the best and your team.Everything was handled smoothly, promptly and no hassles at all! And you gave us Ali as our guide, she’s awesome, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and with very calm demeanor.We loved her!Honestly, I could not get off Rock Springs with the clear kayaks off my mind! Overwhelmingly beautiful! My husband who at first was so apprehensive about alligators and snake, was blown away also.We have been traveling for sometime now and chased lakes/ springs but this is in the top of my favorites! Maybe because, your clear kayaks and the clear water complement each other and the surrounding just amazing( trees/vines/grass/fishes/turtles/birds& etc.). Our experience was just perfect from start to finish! We are hoping we can sneak a short vacation again to Florida soon so we can try the other places you offered!read more

We booked the Rock Springs trip for our honeymoon. We got married October 20, 2018. The main reason choosing Florida... was just to do the clear kayaking. We have been looking forward to this for months now. Our tour guide was Tiki and she did not disappoint! She had so much knowledge about the water and the animals. She was so helpful getting us comfortable in the kayaks from start to finish. She helped us in and out a couple times along the way for breaks and let us take as much time as we needed. It was so peaceful on the way back just gliding thru the water. My husband only had to steer and I got some amazing photos. We are already planning a trip back next year to do the other trip you offer. The trip and Tiki by far exceeded our expectations. We loved every minute of it!!!read more

Tonight I got to experience one very cool item on my bucket list... bioluminescence. When I tell you it was pure magic,... I’m not exaggerating. The smile never left my face!! The water was alive with color and energy and in the pitch black of the night, the electric teal danced brightly with every move. 🛶🛶Bioluminescence is the light given off by living organisms - like fireflies and angler fish! This water was filled with trillions of dinoflagellates (plankton) that emit light when disturbed. There are only a handful of places in the world where you can immerse yourself in this incredible natural phenomenon, and Florida’s Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge on the East Coast is one of them, located about 1.25 hours east of Orlando. 🛫🛬I took a tour with @getupandgokayaking and got to experience kayaking in the pitch black of a hot summer night, with frequent (and gorgeous) streaks of lightning painting the sky. The bioluminescence was vibrant and was everywhere, including under the kayak and looked like the galaxy! 🌌✨✨Little fish darted around the kayaks, making the water come alive with light. A manatee announced his presence with a tremendous splash. Dolphins lazily played nearby and were showing off their grace. Jellyfish were electrified when caught in the little nets we had. And the best part was watching the front of the kayak plow through the water the whole time, scattering bright, big color in a wide V around us. That’s this first photo. And it doesn’t do it justice AT ALL. It’s remarkably hard to photograph, and I’m shocked I even got *one.* 📷🐬🐊I got spooked by a manatee, had little fish literally jumping over my head, I saw dolphins and I had the sky open up on me and hit me with a deluge of water, making the surface glow. It was a remarkably positive experience and I’m so glad I went. ❤️🦐🐚read more

We went on the bioluminescent tour last night and it was perfect. Our guide Austin (Texas/Powers/Stone Cold Steve) was... funny and knowledgable. We saw manatee, fish, a dolphin, and got to catch and hold comb jellies. The sky was clear and you could see all of the stars and with the clear boats it seems like you were gliding on a glowing ocean. I can’t explain how amazing it was. If you have any inclination to do this DO IT!! You will not be disappointed.read more

Had a great bio tour with Justin on Sunday night, Aug 19th. It was so informative, fun and beautiful. Not only was... the bioluminescent cool, we were visited by a couple of dolphins and also saw shooting stars. Because of the absence of light pollution, the night sky made us look up as much as we were looking down at the glowing water. We also learned a lot about environment and animals around us, as well as, get a glimpse of NASA’s huge assembly building! I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone!read more

I cannot say enough great things about the Bioluminescent Tour! Oh my goodness, the videos just are not capable of... doing it justice. It was so incredibly beautiful and peaceful. We even had the added bonus of a friendly manatee pop up to join us! My only recommendation is to wear clothes you don't care about. We came out pretty smelly afterwards... then again I was almost bathing in the water, when you pick it up with your hands you turn all sparkly...so I was splashing it on all my clothes as well! So amazing. If you have the chance you MUST experience it.read more
