Silver Springs Clear Kayak Tour – Manatees & Monkeys Tour
Overview
Paddle over crystal-clear spring water where you can see manatees swimming directly beneath you—and even spot wild monkeys along the shoreline. This is the only place in the U.S. where you can experience both in one unforgettable tour.
