About this experience

Silver Springs, located inside Silver Springs State Park, is a true turquoise-blue paradise where crystal-clear water flows endlessly from one of the largest artesian spring systems in the world. The clarity is breathtaking, revealing a living underwater world beneath you, while lush Old Florida jungle surrounds you in every direction. Wildlife thrives here in remarkable abundance. Manatees, wild rhesus monkeys, turtles, fish, birds, otters, and even alligators move naturally through this protected ecosystem. Otter Paddle is a family-owned and operated company offering more than just another tour. We create a premium, small-group experience designed to feel unhurried so you can experience one of Florida’s most iconic natural wonders the way it should be.
