About this experience

Trade the city for untouched nature with a full-day trip to Silver Springs State Park, an oasis known for its crystal-clear waters and abundant wildlife. After convenient transportation from Orlando, you’ll have up to five hours to dive into a lineup of optional adventures; paddle a kayak along the Silver River, hop aboard the legendary Glass Bottom Boat for a surreal view of the springs, or explore miles of scenic hiking trails. From manatees drifting through transparent waters to lush forests once used as Hollywood backdrops, every part of Silver Springs feels like stepping into a postcard. This is the perfect outdoor escape for travelers craving freedom, beauty, and authentic Florida nature.
