Silver Springs Paddleboard Tour Manatees & Monkeys
Overview
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.

What To Expect
Otter Paddle is family-owned and operated, and we intentionally keep our groups small to create a more personal, immersive experience on the water. We don’t rush, overcrowd, or treat Silver Springs like a checklist stop. Every paddle is guided with care, respect for wildlife, and deep appreciation for this extraordinary spring system.
We provide premium paddle boards and high-quality equipment designed for comfort and stability, making paddle boarding easy and approachable for all skill levels.
Prefer to sit? We offer a paddle board kayak hybrid featuring a premium kayak seat and paddle, blending the agility of a paddle board with the relaxed comfort of a kayak.
Led by an experienced local guide, our tours are calming and relaxing. Connected to the landscape, never commercial or high-volume. This isn’t just another tour. It’s Silver Springs experienced the way it should be.
