Full description

Discover the wonders of a guided Silver Springs Adventure Manatee Tour, where you can paddle on crystal clear water and potentially spot monkeys, manatees, otters, turtles, fish, and beautiful birds. The warm 72-degree water at Silver Springs State Park offers a comfortable experience year-round, making it an ideal location for clear kayak tours and a unique opportunity to witness several hundred manatees during the cooler months.

Explore the natural beauty of Florida's largest artesian spring, consistently voted the best in the state, surrounded by the pristine Ocala Forest with no homes, boats, or jet skis to interrupt the views. Embark on a mesmerizing clear kayak tour near Orlando, where the gentle manatees take center stage, providing a Bucket List adventure just a short drive from downtown.

Experience the majesty of Silver Springs, Florida's oldest tourist attraction dating back to the 1870s, with Epic Paddle Adventures—Orlando's Premier Clear Kayaking Experience. Paddle through time along the Fort King Trail, where hidden treasures and remnants of Hollywood's jungle adventure movie sets await, offering a thrilling and unforgettable journey.
