View Florida's beautiful Alligators safely from your clear Kayak or Paddleboard with our expert guides! Is it safe?? Yes! The Gators at Silver Springs are very happy and docile in their natural habitat. Our guides are experts at alligator behavior and will guide you past them safely. We'll even get photos for you.

We love sharing Florida's most loved wildlife at Florida's very first attraction with new friends at this beautiful, unique spring in Central Florida, Silver Springs.

We'll glide through the clear blue water on the Silver River where there is an abundance of wildlife and hidden treasure to admire. Gators sun themselves on the banks of the river and you'll see much more! Many movies were filmed here including the original Tarzan movies and even a 007 movie. The abandoned movie props will make you feel like you're in a jungle adventure movie!

We may see gators, fish, turtles, water fowl, and even manatees and monkeys. The water is so crystal clear, the bright blues and greens seem unreal.
