- Silver Springs State Park - Experience Florida’s stunning alligators safely from a clear kayak or paddleboard with our expert guides!
We love introducing Florida’s cherished wildlife at its very first attraction to new friends at the beautiful and unique Silver Springs in Central Florida.
We’ll glide through the crystal-clear waters of the Silver River, where an abundance of wildlife and hidden treasures await. Gators bask on the riverbanks, and there’s so much more to see! Many movies, including the original Tarzan films and a 007 movie, were shot here. The abandoned movie props will make you feel like you’re on a jungle adventure!
You might spot gators, fish, turtles, waterfowl, and even manatees and monkeys. The water is so clear that the vibrant blues and greens seem almost unreal.
Even if you’re a complete beginner, this paddle session is very calm and relaxing. Our friendly guides will be with you every step of the way, sharing interesting facts and history while ensuring you feel safe and confident.
Each guest will receive plenty of hands-on instruction during this guided tour, and life vests will be provided for all participants.
