“I went to the Silver Springs of Florida, the driver's big brother was kind, the landscape along the way was beautiful, and people were happy. The only small disadvantage is that the season is not right, not seeing the long-awaited bulls. However, the glass boat experience is very special, so you can clearly see the underwater view. I also rented a transparent crystal boat, relaxed on clear waterways, very polite. Overall a relaxing and memorable trip, recommended for those who love nature and water activities.Auto-translated”
