Silver Springs Manatee and Wildlife Eco Tour 2 hr

Paddle into the clear waters of Silver Springs, where reflections ripple across the surface and wildlife may appear along the banks. This 120-minute Silver Springs Manatee and Wildlife Eco Tour offers a peaceful way to experience Florida’s spring-fed landscape by kayak, canoe, or paddle board.

An expert naturalist leads the outing and shares insights into the local ecosystem as you explore. Keep watch for manatees, wild monkeys, and other wildlife, with each trip offering a chance to connect with nature at an easygoing pace. Safety equipment, paddles, and dry bags are provided. The tour is described as suitable for all physical fitness levels, and infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller.

State Park admission costs $2.00, and the kayak launch fee is $4.00; these are not included. When you arrive, head to the kayak launch ramp on the south side of the parking lot rather than going through the main archway. Choose your paddle craft and discover Silver Springs from the water on this guided Silver Springs Manatee and Wildlife Eco Tour.
