Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park Tours

Adam greater us with a friendly smile and welcoming words. He was knowledgeable and entertaining throughout our day around the parks and activities, I can highly recommend Adam and this tour. 5 stars throughout, super guy, super day thank you sir!

Had a fabulous day as a small group of 5 people plus our tour guide Adam Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic would highly recommend

Had a great time, big thank you to Adam for making it special!

Absolutely incredible day - Florida just how nature intended - fantastic fun for kids from 7-70! We travelled as a family of three adults and three kids and everyone had a brilliant day - it’s a jam packed schedule with an early pickup in Orlando, but totally worth it. Adam makes the journey both fun and educational and pitches it just right for every member of the group. Bird’s underwater dive school made our dreams come true and gave us lifelong memories snorkelling with manatees in the middle of their ‘off season’ because our expert captain and guide knew just where to go to find them. Wild Bill’s airboat ride is a must-do! There were loads of alligators, herons, dragonflies, cormorants, osprey and more in some of the most stunning landscapes we’d ever seen. Thank you so much to everyone involved in such a brilliant day!

Excellent tour, truly amazing to see such a huge variety of wildlife, especially the manatees. Adam was a great guide, an extraordinary free style singer, and an exceptional show man ! The tour was definetly awesome and would have been even better with more information and facts about Florida's biodiversity.

The experience was amazing from start to finish. It was an incredible experience so swim with a manatee in their natural habitat. It was out of season however still saw a couple. We were fortunate to also see a Mom and her newbown calf, born 20 mins before we spotted them from the boat. Our tour guide Adam was brilliant from start to finish. His humour, knowledge and enthusiasm made the day even more special. He’s a credit to the company.

Absolutely fantastic only made better with our guide Adam, full of knowledge throughout, his Jason Statham impression needs work though. Adam is a credit to the Cool Destinations company.

Went on a tour with Adam as a guide and was great!

The experience was amazing meeting the mannitees was a great adventure and an awesome first-time activity. The staff was really friendly, acknowledging, funny. The amount of people coming was a perect amount and there were others to relate to in having a first-time experience. The atmosphere around was overall really nice to be around as well. This was an amazing full day activity consisting of so many exciting events creating new companions along the journey. Overall an awesome experience.

The pickup at the hotel was very positive. Kevin told us interesting things about the area or the history every now and then along the way. The team for swimming with manatees was very competent and paid close attention to compliance with the rules for the protection of the animals. The Homosassa Springs Wildlife is well worth seeing. ( Many mosquitoes) A highlight, however, was the airboat ride. I will definitely book with Cool Destinations again.

Adam was brilliant and kept the tour going all day despite the weather not being the best. We had an amazing day and Jake was not sure about swimming with the manatees but Adam encouraged and reassured him and he eventually did the experience. He usually is not sure about people he does not know and is very shy, but he really liked Adam. The swim was amazing and we saw fish from our snorkel, manatees and dolphins from the boat. The manatee feed and animals were brilliant in the state park. The airboat was fantastic. Saw loads of gators and Florida fauna and flora. Also loved Adam’s commentary. Thank you for a wonderful day xx

This was an all day tour and well worth the price. We bagan with convenient hotel pickup at sunrise by Cool Destinations Orlando. Our expert driver, Kevin, shuttled us over to Kings Bay Crystal River. The knowledgeable staff at Birds Underwater Dive Shop took us out to snorkel with manatees, we saw five including a calf. Visibility was poor this day due to recent rain, recommend going in winter if possible. Stopped for a box sandwich lunch at Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. Finished the tours at Wild Bill's Airboat Tours. I would recommend any of these three activities on their own. This tour provided all three with lunch and the convenience of an expert driver. Well done Cool Destinations Orlando. (Picture is at the wildlife park)

Adam was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! From start to finish, his enthusiasm, knowledge, and top-tier energy made the entire day unforgettable. He has a real talent for bringing places and stories to life, sharing fascinating insights while keeping a varied group of 12 engaged and entertained. What really stood out was his infectious positivity and ability to keep the group motivated and having fun throughout the day. No question was too much trouble, and his passion for what he does was evident in every part of the tour. His energy never dipped, creating a fun-filled atmosphere that made the experience enjoyable from beginning to end. If you're looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely committed to making sure everyone has an amazing time, Adam is the perfect choice. Highly recommended—he turned a great day into an exceptional one! 👏🇺🇸🎉The snorkelling with manatees, wildlife park and manatee feeding were very calm and enjoyable. The air boat ride added a bit of thrill and spotting the Gators was genuinely great fun! Plenty of souvenir opportunities - just don’t forget you need to pay for wetsuit hire ($15) and even the lunch was a decent sub roll, crisps and cookie combo!

An amazing experience, we were lucky to see 2 manatees during our swim, onto the wildlife park where we saw more manatees close up. The airboat was amazing, we saw lots of wildlife during our trip. My only criticism was our guide talked non stop about himself all day and made it known that he wanted to get home so the day felt very rushed.

We took the 4th July trip to Crystal River & Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park tour with Cool Destinations Orlando, and despite heavy rain and electrical storms from mid-morning, it turned out to be a fantastic day thanks to our guide, Adam.The swim itself was limited by lack of manatees at this time of year, and the need to get out the water with the lighting overhead, however Gina & Cpt Michael made sure we managed to get one great manatee sighting in during our experience.Rather than letting the weather ruin the trip, Adam went above and beyond to keep the group entertained. He organised a great lunch from Publix, took us on an impromptu local tour, stopped at Monkey Island for drinks and ice cream, and even used AI to share the history and stories of the area while we waited for the weather to improve.Once the storms passed, we were still able to visit the wildlife sanctuary. Throughout the day, Adam's enthusiasm, knowledge and genuine care for the group made all the difference. He kept everyone engaged, informed and connected from pick-up to drop-off.Adam is a real credit to Cool Destinations Orlando. We have another tour booked next week and are hoping he's our guide again. Highly recommended!

We had Adam Rubman as our tour guide and he was amazing! He really had the knowledge of the day and made us laugh and smile all day We just had a spectacualr experience Thanks Adam
