Highlights

Silver Springs kayaking is open all year long, and it’s a fantastic place for adventure whenever you’re ready to go! Manatee season is November through March but there are 7 manatees that call Silver Springs home year round! So we have the possibility to see the occasional manatees. Whenever you decide to take the tour, you can count on blue, crystal clear water and tons of fascinating history about this 200 year-old attraction. Besides the possibility of seeing manatees and monkeys, there are all kinds of wildlife to be seen year round, and I’ve memorized all their hot-spots. I can’t wait to show you! (there is a max weight limit of 250lbs for the single kayaks and 450lbs for the tandem)*Please note if you need a two person tandem. My kayak tours are capped at 6 kayaks per tour, perfect for families and smaller groups!****Same day bookings please call before booking for vessel availability as I may only have single kayaks OR tandems****This tour has a 2 guest minimum.

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.

Top-ranked sights in Orlando: Clearwater Beach, WonderWorks Orlando, Kennedy Space Center.
