Come Experience a World of Wonder at Silver Springs

There is so much to experience at Silver Springs. Imagine paddling across waters so clear you feel like you’re floating. Surrounded by lush banks of plants, large cypress trees, and incredible wildlife. It’s the kind of magic you’ll experience when you visit Silver Springs, Florida. One of the most breathtaking places in Florida to explore by clear kayak.

 The Magic of Silver Springs

Silver Springs: a place where nature feels untouched, wildlife is abundant, and every paddle reveals an exciting world to see both above and below the water’s surface. Located in the heart of Central Florida, Silver Springs has captivated visitors for centuries. Originally home to Native American tribes, the springs have long been revered as a place of beauty. Today, it remains one of Florida’s most iconic natural landmarks.

Fed by one of the largest artesian spring systems in the world, Silver Springs pumps out an astonishing 550 million gallons of fresh water daily. The water stays a refreshing 72 degrees year-round, creating a haven not just for us to view, but for an awesome array of wildlife to thrive.

Why Clear Kayaking is the Best Way to Explore

While Silver Springs is beautiful from any angle, clear kayaking offers a truly next-level and a more up close experience with everything you encounter. Gliding across the water in a fully clear kayak, able to look straight down into the world below you. With turtles and schools of fish swimming by, curious manatee, a gator resting in the tall grass; it all becomes part of your adventure. Booking a clear kayak tour at Silver Springs allows you to experience all this and more.

 Wonderful Wildlife Encounters 

Silver Springs is a wildlife lover’s dream come true. On any given day, you might encounter:

• Manatees: Gentle giants that visit the springs during cooler months (November to March) and some year round residents. Seeing one glide beneath your kayak is unforgettable.
• Rhesus Macaque Monkeys: Introduced decades ago for a theme park attraction, these wild monkeys have thrived along the riverbanks.
• River Otters: Playful and energetic, often seen chasing fish or curiously peeking at paddlers.
• Wading Birds: Great blue herons, egrets, and white ibis gracefully hunt along the shallow edges.
• Ospreys: Soaring overhead, searching for fish to snatch the water.
• Alligators: Sunning themselves on the banks of the river
• Schools of fish
• Turtles: All lined up on a log as if ready for a photo opp

Every paddle through Silver Springs brings a new encounter, a new story to tell.
You never know what magic the river has in store for you that day.

History Submerged

Silver Springs has abundant wildlife, but there is more to see as well. Float over submerged movie props left by Hollywood film sets, see underwater springs bubbling up from the earth like fountains, see the eel grass sway gracefully below you or the old sunken cypress canoe estimated to be at least 500 years old.

Silver Springs was a favorite filming location for early Hollywood classic movies.
Today, you can still spot sunken statues, and hidden film relics on the riverbed. From movies like Tarzan, Creature from the Black Lagoon and 007, just to name a few.

Floating over these hidden gems feels less like a tour and more like an exploration into a secret, ancient world.
