Where Did the Monkeys Come From?
You might wonder how monkeys ended up in Florida. Well supposedly, the story goes back to the 1930s… when a tour boat operator released a group of them on a little island in the Silver River to drive business to his jungle cruise attraction. Well, turns out that monkeys are excellent swimmers, and they found the other parts of the forest really fast!
Today, their descendants thrive in the area, adding a unique and unexpected twist to our kayaking adventures.
There Are Even Manatees
While the monkeys are certainly a highlight, the Silver Springs area is also home to manatees. These gentle giants often swim in the clear waters, and seeing them up close is a truly magical experience. The combination of cute monkeys and manatees makes for an unforgettable tour.
