Silver Springs: Manatees & Monkeys Kayak Tour

Paddle the crystal-clear waters of Silver Springs on a guided two-hour kayak or paddleboard experience in Silver Springs State Park, Florida, about 129 km from Downtown Orlando. Led by friendly, expert English-speaking guides, you spend around 90 minutes on the water exploring one of Florida's best-known springs, with its ancient forests and vivid turquoise water. Gentle manatees are the stars of the trip, and you may also spot turtles, colorful fish and exotic birds in their natural habitat, with occasional sightings of playful monkeys and elusive otters. Choose a paddleboard, or a single or two-person clear kayak. No swimming skills are needed and the level is suitable for beginners, as the operator provides all the necessary safety equipment and experienced instructors. A waterproof bag keeps your small personal items safe, and your guide reveals the diverse ecosystems of this timeless paradise along the way. Participants must be aged 6 or over, which makes this a memorable day out in nature for friends and families with older children.
