Experience the beauty of Silver River from a unique perspective of a glass-bottom kayak. Unlike larger commercial tours, our guided tours are intentionally kept small and personal, with groups typically consisting of 6-8 guests max.
Through the transparent hull of your kayak, view crystal-clear springs, sunken movie props, historic artifacts, fish, turtles, and the river's famous shipwrecks. Along the way, your guide will share stories about the river's history, ecology, and wildlife.
Silver River is home to manatees, alligators, turtles, river otters, fish, birds, and even wild rhesus monkeys. Every trip offers a unique opportunity to experience Florida's natural beauty up close and from a respectful distance.
Our glass-bottom kayaks are safe, stable and comfortable for all experience levels. This experience combines the serenity of nature with the excitement of discovery beneath the surface.
Please review the full listing, important info, and cancellation policy prior to booking.
