Silver Springs
Wildlife Tour
Tour Details
1.5 hours long
1.5 hours from Orlando
Touring the Silver River is the closest you can get to feeling like youβre in the jungle with an abundance of various wildlife species. From monkeys swinging in the trees (Yes, you read that right), to alligators basking in the sun, and manatees gracefully swimming beneath your clear kayak, this is perfect tour for wildlife enthusiasts and families with children.
We will start our tour with a short but beautiful paddle down a canal that leads right to the head spring of the Silver River. As we take a gentle and relaxing paddle downstream on the river, we will look for manatees beneath us, stop at multiple sister springs that are all flowing into the river, check out sunken boats, and search for monkeys in the tree tops. We will talk about the history of the monkeys on our tour!
On our way back weβll take a different route upstream through a beautiful crystal-clear creek thatβs perfectly shaded by the tree canopies.
This tour is great for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers looking to witness these incredible animals up close.
