Clear Kayak or Paddleboard Manatee Adventure
Linda_C
Explore the crystal-clear waters of Silver Springs State Park on a guided clear kayak or paddleboard adventure through one of Florida’s most iconic freshwater ecosystems. Known for exceptional water clarity and abundant wildlife, Silver Springs offers the chance to see manatees (seasonal), wild rhesus monkeys, turtles, fish, and native birds in their natural habitat. Your local guide will lead you through calm spring-fed waterways while sharing insight into the park’s history, ecology, and wildlife. Keep your camera ready — manatee sightings are unforgettable, and the resident monkey population adds a rare twist to your paddle. Choose from clear single kayaks, tandem clear kayaks, or stand-up paddleboards, all designed for stability and underwater viewing. This relaxed, beginner-friendly eco-tour delivers an up-close wildlife experience in one of Central Florida’s most beautiful natural settings. Just minutes from Ocala and an easy day trip from Orlando.
