Clear Kayak or Paddleboard Manatee Adventure

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!
