Orlando: Silver Springs Guided Kayak Tour with Shuttle｜United States

Discover the unparalleled Silver Springs — one of Florida’s oldest tourist destinations and a National Natural Landmark. This is truly a bucket-list experience during your time in Florida.

Specializing in small-group guided adventures, this tour delivers a personal, safe, and wildlife-rich experience. Paddle leisurely sit-on-top kayaks through crystal clear spring-fed channels while learning about the area’s rich wildlife, ecology, and fascinating history — from classic Tarzan films to legendary Hollywood underwater movie sets.

We pick up all our guests at ICON Park, Orlando, after a 90-minute shuttle ride, and you arrive at Silver Springs State Park. Your U.S. National Kayak Champion Guide and naturalist will provide expert safety instructions and storytelling throughout your journey. Your guide will offer expert insight into the park’s natural environment, history, and conservation efforts, making this experience both educational and inspiring.

Silver Springs is renowned for its diverse wildlife. Guests may encounter manatees, monkeys, turtles, schools of fish, wading birds, alligators (observed from a safe distance), and otters. The highest chance of seeing multiple manatees is typically between November and March, when they are more frequently present in the area.

A digital photo package is included, so you can enjoy the moment without worrying about cameras.
