Manatee Season Nov 15 - Mar 31.
Because these animals are wild and they roam, we can never guarantee seeing them during your tour time. The Ocala Forest at Silver Springs is not a zoo environment. However, this tour is called "Manatees and Monkeys" for a reason. This is the place to see them. We almost always see manatees and we often see monkeys.
Witness the aquatic wonders of manatees alongside turtles, fish, and exotic birds! Occasional sightings of playful monkeys and otters amid the lush landscapes of Silver Springs. Silver Springs is consistently voted Florida's #1 Spring.
Our friendly, expert guides will lead you through crystalline waters, revealing the diverse ecosystems and secret treasures of a world untamed by time. The ancient forests and vivid, turquoise waters will leave you spellbound!
Our super-stable vessels ensure an unforgettable experience. Our Clear Single Kayaks and Clear 2-Person Kayaks offer unparalleled views of the underwater wonders!

Bob and Guy are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. This is the first time for the most of my family to ride kayak. They guided us very well. We saw manatees, lots of Herons, turtles. It was so much fun!!! I will recommend this activity.

This was a lovely experience, our guides Erin, Annabelle and G were amazing, kind, funny and professional. Make sure you bring your flip flops, quick dry clothes or bathing suit because you will definitely get wet and dry clothes to change afterwards. It was cloudy most of the day and I didn’t get to see any manatees because they were shy to come out. Some people in our group saw them underwater but the whole experience was beautiful.

Unsatisfied
No lamantin…no monky…to many people (more than 40)…it was like bumping kayak.
The guide was arrogant.
I want a refund !!!

Good experience, but only suggest people with cars or can rent cars. We took Uber here and the price back is extremely high.

The Kayak trip was great. The guides were excellent. They pointed out lots of wildlife during the trip and answered all of our questions. They also created an online album of photos and videos to share. I will return next year, and recommend it to any friends visiting this area.

Beautiful time away from the hustle and bustle. This is the second time we have kayaked this river area. Seeing many manatees, turtles and birds of the area. Excellent tour guide, TJ, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the river.
