Very friendly, shared good map and information so that we could see the animals and stay safe. Boat was clear enough that we got great videos of underwater sea life.

Rent our 100% Clear Canoes and paddle down the beautiful spring fed Silver River! While paddling you will come across local wildlife such as birds, fish, manatees, and rhesus monkeys to name a few! Our Clear Canoes offer a unique experience for viewing the wildlife beneath you! Most springs in Florida have just one spring head. At Silver Springs there are 30 documented spring heads. With your Clear Canoeing rental you are able to paddle over the spring heads an enjoy the view. You are renting the canoe and you are free to explore without being tied down to a guide. No guide mean are you not rushed to keep up the pace. You can take your time viewing the wildlife and getting plenty of photos. Within Silver Springs State Parks dogs are permitted on a leash. Dogs MUST be on a leash at all times. Dogs are allowed on our canoe rentals. Each clear canoe is tandem. If you would like to ride solo you need to pay for an additional person with their name as "Solo".

Rebecca helped make this experience truly unforgettable! Absolutely would recommend, saw tons of wildlife including manatees, gators, fish and turtles. Brought the dog too and she had a great time

Surpassed our expectations! Took our two kids 3yo and 7yo and saw SOOO many manatees right under us! Amazing experience. Definitely a core memory 🤍

Christmas holiday time extremely busy. The springs are crowded and the wait to launch from the time of check in was 30+ minutes. The springs are stunning- definitely worth taking the clear canoe experience. Beautiful clear water, manatees, birds, turtles, fish, and alligators. No swimming area. Very peaceful setting. Highly recommend. Nice café, gift shop and ice cream available- picnic tables too. Rebecca our organizer was excellent.

It was our No1 experience and exceeded all our expectations. Clear water + clear glass bottom boat = superior experience. We saw many manatees and other underwater wildlife. Highly recommend for families and vacationers to get a break away from Orlando. Rebecca is the best guide.
