Silver River Kayak Tours

A Day Away Ocala / Silver Springs

The Silver River is truly one of the most beautiful rivers in North America. From the crystal clear spring water, tropical foliage, deer, otter and tropical birds to the roving bands of Rhesus monkeys, the Silver River is a storybook paddling experience. Launching from Ray Wayside Park we paddle the easy current up into the Silver Springs Park

Just a short drive from the fun and the sun in Silver Springs, is one of the most diverse eco systems in North America. The Indian River Lagoon which begins at Ponce Inlet and runs south 157 miles along the east coast of Florida is home to amazing diversity in wildlife and nature. The highlight and focal point for most of this diversity is the 144,000 acres that surround Kennedy Space Center, known as the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.Wild monkeys seen on a Silver River kayak tour.

A Day Away offers kayak tours six days a week on the Merritt Island Refuge just a ninety minute drive south east of the cities of Silver Springs and Ocala. In the daylight the refuge reveals Manatee, dolphin, alligator, and many varieties of wading birds. The potential is there to spot any number of the amazing land based life that call the refuge home: bobcats, wild pigs, otters, wild turkeys, etc. On our Comb Jelly night tours you can witness the lagoons answers to the fire fly – the comb jellyfish or the single cell dinoflagellate bioluminescence which illuminates all moving things around itself. Magical is the appropriate description turning even the most stoic adult into an awe struck child. You can check out our tour options with full description under tours on the bar above.

Not an experienced kayaker? No problem! Our guides are all trained to give you clear and helpful instruction and will have you paddling like a champ in just a few minutes. Fully 20% of our paddlers have never paddled before and all have a great trip.

A Day Away Silver Springs now offers Stand up Paddleboard (SUP) tours and rentals if you would like to try this exciting new sport.

Don’t worry if you have never paddled a SUP before. With minutes of instruction and practice you will find it easy and fun.
