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.
Once you arrive at the main Silver Springs State Park parking lot, please park toward the far end. This is where the launch area is located. Your Otter Paddle guide will text you prior to check-in to introduce themselves and confirm the exact setup location.
