Experience Silver Springs State Park on this Clear Kayak Gator Viewing Tour, a unique and safe way to observe Florida’s iconic alligators in one of the state’s most beautiful spring systems. Paddle through crystal-clear turquoise water along the Silver River, where exceptional visibility allows you to spot wildlife beneath and along the shoreline.
