Highlights
Explore the crystal-clear waters of Silver Springs State Park on a guided clear kayak or paddleboard adventure through one of Florida’s most iconic freshwater ecosystems. Known for exceptional water clarity and abundant wildlife, Silver Springs offers the chance to see manatees (seasonal), wild rhesus monkeys, turtles, fish, and native birds in their natural habitat. Your local guide will lead you through calm spring-fed waterways while sharing insight into the park’s history, ecology, and wildlife. Keep your camera ready — manatee sightings are unforgettable, and the resident monkey population adds a rare twist to your paddle. Choose from clear single kayaks, tandem clear kayaks, or stand-up paddleboards, all designed for stability and underwater viewing. This relaxed, beginner-friendly eco-tour delivers an up-close wildlife experience in one of Central Florida’s most beautiful natural settings. Just minutes from Ocala and an easy day trip from Orlando.

About Orlando
Orlando is the theme-park heart of central Florida, ringed by famous resorts, water parks and wildlife, with lakes and clear springs to cool off in.
The city's fame rests on its theme parks. Walt Disney World spreads across four parks southwest of town, from the Magic Kingdom's fairy-tale castle to Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. Universal Orlando adds movie-themed thrill rides and immersive themed lands, and SeaWorld and a string of water parks complete the circuit.
