Silver Springs Guided Tours via Glass Bottom Kayaks!
Our tours are small, intimate & jam-packed with facts, lore & wildlife; an unforgettable experience for all who participate!
These are the clearest, most stable glass-bottom kayaks you'll find on the Silver River! What makes these kayaks clearer and better than competitors' is the dedication we put into their daily maintenance and care. Our efforts are unmatched! Our glass bottom kayaks come with a sit-in-top design, which means it is well suited to all-weather paddling. The cockpit sits lower into the boat, so stability is greatly increased, paddler comfort is enhanced, and wave impact is reduced. Our kayaks come standard with a transparent hull for underwater viewing. We offer both Solo and Tandem kayaks with strict weight capacity guidelines to ensure a safe and stable ride. A tour guide, a padded seat, a floating paddle, dry storage and a PFD for each paddler are included with your booking.
