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.

Silver Springs State Park

<nil>

Embark on a bucket-list paddle boarding adventure, discovering the largest artesian spring in the world. Silver Springs is home to the beloved West Indian Manatee, monkeys swaying in the trees above, and an array of other wildlife to indulge your wild side. The enchanting electric blue water will have you gazing at aquatic life frolicking about, sunken boats from times past, and even some old Hollywood movie history beneath your paddle board. Silver Springs is a designated National Natural Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in America. Our adventure begins by paddling straight to the headspring and then gently going with the flow as we paddle with the current, making it a very tranquil and relaxing paddle. Our adventure does not stop there, as we leave the river and explore Fort King Paddle Trail, the old Jungle Cruise. The temperature in Silver Springs stays at a consistent 72 degrees year-round. We cannot wait to take you on this memorable adventure through the natural wonders of Silver Springs.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
