Spend about two hours paddling Silver Springs State Park along the Fort King trail. Choose a clear kayak or paddleboard, watch for manatees, turtles, alligators, birds, otters, and monkeys, and learn about the springs from guides such as Stevie or Roger. Photos are taken during the trip and shared afterward.

“The place is very natural & must vizited place, but don't take this company tour package, go directly to the place, you will find better options & cheap price, this our tour operator is not good, after giving all guidelines they started 30min late, bcoz 1 family came late & then he finished in rush with 1.30 min, when the tour was of 2 hrs, and we didn't enjoyed, even we have to carry our boat from starting point till river, which also hard, specially for ladies & children, again after taking high amounts they are asking us to pay tickets on entry around 2+4= 6 dollars. I am disappointed…”
