About this experience
Whether you're seeking a peaceful escape, a family outing, or a one-of-a-kind adventure, Silver Springs is the place for you.
Glide across some of the clearest waters in the world, where ancient springs bubble up from the Earth and the forest feels alive!
Couples will love the quiet moments—drifting beneath towering cypress trees, sunlight filtering through the moss, and maybe even sharing a surprise encounter with manatees.
Families will find excitement spotting turtles, birds, fish, and maybe even wild monkeys on the treetops. There’s nothing like paddling deeper into the winding creeks, where every turn brings wonder.
Your time on the water will be serene, thrilling, and unforgettable. Experience Florida’s natural attraction the way it was meant to be—up close, and personal!
