Itinerary
Pass by: We will all meet and launch from the State Park. We will paddle through the beautiful-crystal clear waters shaded by large oak and cypress trees and then come to the large opening where the main spring head is located and where the glass bottom boats launch from.
Pass by: We will paddle through one of the wider sections of the Silver Springs River. This is one of the main areas the manatees like to hang out and a great spot to observe and take photos of the manatees!

Fantastic tour!
Connor was a fantastic tour guide! Impressive knowledge on both the wildlife and history of Silver Spings. The springs were wonderful and the morning tour was great to see wildlife. Saw a monkey, manatee, tlots of fish and birds, and of course alligators and turtles.

Kayaking at silver springs
Had a great experience! Saw lots of wildlife.
Clear kayak guided tour
We had a great time and saw a lot of great animals and information. The guide Connor with three brothers was super nice and helpful. The cost was super worth it for the time its enough time to get a lot of information but not be bored or too tired and hot. We got to see both the manatee and monkeys which was great and hard to do per him and the monkeys are super worth seeing and made our day. The fish, alligators, and birds along the way are also cool and there is also historic areas and other facts we learned and overall had a great time as a group.
Connor Is Awesome!
Connor was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the springs! His communication and directions as to where to go and what to do when we got there were spot on. Great experience for my family, I would highly recommend!
