Silver Springs Self Guided Clear Kayak Rentals
Description
Experience the crystal clear water of Silver Springs State Park in a self-guided clear tandem kayak. Manatees, wild monkeys, epic water birds, turtles, otters, and so much more call Silver Springs home. Explore the underwater world of this Florida treasure, and see old movie relics, and sunken ships from what was the first tourist attraction in Florida. Bring your camera, because you will have plenty of memories you will want to capture, and cherish forever. We give you treasure hunt maps so you can find the sunken treasures along the way. Unlike our competitors, we will never ask you to carry the kayak to, and from the water. Our guides are the best Florida has to offer, and we are owned by a Florida native and UF master naturalist with 18 years of experience. So what are you waiting for? Paddle at your own pace, and absorb the raw, natural beauty of Silver Springs!

We had a fantastic experience booking two clear tandem kayaks at Silver Springs through Kayaking Florida. Justin was very accommodating and easy to work with, and the company offers the best value we could find among all operators at Silver Springs. We saw plenty of cool wildlife and had an overall great time.
So glad you had a good trip with Justin. Our guides do know the honey holes and secrets on the springs to give you that extra fun. Shhh. Don't tell! :) Glad you got to see alot of wildlife. Come see us at Blue Springs next!
From the moment we got off the phone with Justin that morning we knew we were going to have a great day. He was so friendly and relaxed. Very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife, and very willing to share his knowledge. The float was spectacular! We saw so many species of wildlife, both in and out of the water, can’t even name them all. The water was crystal clear, so beautiful. When we were done with the trip, Justin showed up within minutes to pick us up and load our boats. We would describe some of the unusual fish that we saw and he was able to tell us what the names were. Wonderful experience! Highly recommend this company.
Thank you for the great review. Justin is an amazing guide! He truly knows all the wildlife out there. We are glad he made it easy for you guys. Happy you had a wonderful time, and hope to see you again. :)
Justin was a cool dude and made everything simple for someone who never kayaked here before. Pickup was timely and there was good communication. Highly recommended
Justin strives to keep things moving like they should! Communication is always key for sure and we will always strive for that! Thank you for trusting us. :)
I definitely recommend. We saw an otter, several species of birds, many turtles, several fish species, one alligator minding its business, but didn’t see any manatees or monkeys. On the walking trail there was plenty of monkey “evidence” though. The water was clear and a beautiful blue in places where there weren’t plants. Other people that we crossed paths with said they saw more alligators.
So nice to see you saw a lot of different species. Manatees are hard to see out of season unless you do the 4 hour guided tour- our guides know some spots they may be on that one! Monkeys too!
Great, laid back experience. We enjoyed the 2 hour clear kayak tandem rental. We arrived back to the launch area early so kayaked nearby until our 2 hours was up. Next time we know we can slow down our loop to enjoy the wildlife at a slower pace. Saw lots of gators and ducks. No monkeys or manatees this time. Highly recommend!
Laid back is always nice! Try the 4 hr drift with shuttle service if you want a better chance to see the monkeys. :)
We had a really great time on the river. And the experience was seamless and easy because we booked with this company. The clear kayaks were fun, and it wasn't neat to be able to see animals passing underneath the kayak. Chris explained everything, gotta set up with everything we needed and out onto the river within minutes. He was available by a phone when we approached the launchsite at the end of our journey and what can I say the experience was wonderful. Would reccomend.
Chris speaks volumes of how he truly makes our guests feel while on and off the water! Our guides really do care a lot. :) Sounds like a truly amazing trip all around honestly! You got a little of everything. Come see us again in December for manatee season. :)
We had a wonderful time kayaking at Silver Springs . It was my first time kayaking and Justin Severance from Kayaking Florida did an amazing job of helping me to feel at ease. He even kept an eye on us as we got started on our trip and gave us some helpful directions. I loved being able to go at my own pace and take in the natural wonders of the park. I would definitely go kayaking again with Kayaking Florida.
Thank you for the kindness. :) Justin is a great guide! Gives it that extra personal touch for the guests.
We enjoyed our time Kayaking at Silver Springs. Justin Severance was great about getting us in and out of the water quickly and easily. We had two with us who were new to kayaking and he made it an excellent adventure for them and all of us. Thanks Justin!
Sounds like you had an easy going time with new people on board too! Justin is great at making everyone feel relaxed so you enjoy the springs and the memory made. :)
My group and I had Chris as our guide and he was such a blast. He was super friendly and knowledgeable regarding the wildlife. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something fun and adventurous to do here in Florida.
Glad your tour was amazing with Chris! The guides learn these springs like a second nature and truly are passionate about them. So glad to hear it was truly a relaxing memory for your group! That makes us feel so amazing. :)
It was great, they were very professional and helpful.
Thank you for your great review! Glad they could help you.
