点评:My family ( husband and 2 teenagers -ages 15) have visited Florida multiple times and often we go to the theme parks , the space center and the beaches. But this past holiday season we thought the theme parks were so crowded and decided we will do something special. I came across this company’s instagram page , made the phone call in California before we left for our trip and booked a tour on New Year’s Day. We opted to go to silver springs state park having heard that it is a sanctuary for manatees . And I can tell you it was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences we ever had. It was the first time my kids went paddle boarding and seeing the Manatees was just one of the most amazing family experiences we ever had … The weather was perfect, the water was cool ( 72 degrees) and not only did we see manatees but we saw herons, all kinds of birds, turtles, blue tilapia and even a small alligator . Our guide Rachelle ( who is also one of the owners ) was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the entire park . It was very safe and very relaxing and my kids easily fell in love with paddle boarding. She never made us feel rushed and was helpful in getting my kids started with the paddle boards, ( The paddle boards also are very nice high quality boards !) She also took some really amazing pictures and videos (like approx 280! ) that every time I show friends/family they are so amazed about This is a must do bucket list experience and for me I think it’s even better than the theme parks. Next time we make our way to Orlando again, we will check out their other tours ( rainbow springs) but if you go between November to March —do not miss the manatees . Some things to know : the trip from Orlando to silver springs is about an hour and a half —so plan ahead . We took a rental car. Which we had anyways everyone we go to Orlando. Well worth it though.
翻译:我的家人(丈夫和 2 名 15 岁的青少年)多次访问过佛罗里达州,我们经常去主题公园、航天中心和海滩。但在过去的假期里,我们认为主题公园太拥挤了,所以决定做一些特别的事情。我偶然发现了这家公司的 Instagram 页面,在我们出发旅行之前在加利福尼亚州打了电话,并预订了元旦的旅行。我们选择去银泉州立公园,因为听说那里是海牛保护区。我可以告诉你,这确实是我们经历过的最难忘的经历之一。这是我的孩子们第一次去桨板冲浪,看到海牛是我们经历过的最令人惊奇的家庭经历之一……天气很好,水很凉爽(72度),我们不仅看到了海牛,而且还看到了海牛。苍鹭、各种鸟类、海龟、蓝色罗非鱼,甚至还有小鳄鱼。我们的导游雷切尔(也是业主之一)非常了解野生动物和整个公园。这里非常安全,非常放松,我的孩子们很容易就爱上了桨板冲浪。她从来没有让我们感到匆忙,并且帮助我的孩子开始使用桨板,(桨板也是非常好的高品质板!)她还拍摄了一些非常令人惊叹的照片和视频(例如大约 280 个!)我向朋友/家人展示他们对此感到非常惊讶,这是一个必须做的愿望清单体验,对我来说,我认为它甚至比主题公园更好。下次我们再次前往奥兰多时,我们将查看他们的其他旅行(彩虹泉),但如果您在 11 月至 3 月期间去——不要错过海牛。需要了解的一些事项:从奥兰多到银泉的行程大约需要一个半小时,因此请提前计划。我们租了一辆车。无论如何,我们每个人都去奥兰多。不过还是值得的。
