- Silver Springs - Since its opening in the 1870s, Silver Springs has been a cherished National Treasure and boasts one of the world’s largest freshwater springs! These pristine waterways are teeming with wildlife, including alligators, manatees, otters, turtles, fish, birds, and monkeys. On this tour, participants will encounter sunken shipwrecks, numerous springs, underwater statues, and a breathtaking view of “old Florida” that feels almost prehistoric. An experienced guide will lead the way, ensuring a safe and enjoyable paddle. The tour covers 5.2 miles down the Silver River, following the current for an easy and leisurely experience. Guests can either take a shuttle ride at the end or leave their car at the take-out point (the preferred option) for convenience.
