I agree, but I would be more specific- For $70 you can rent a tandem kayak and there is a 5 mile route downriver, where they pick you up at the end and drive you back. I do this with my grandsons EVERY YEAR. They are coming back this year and it is the first thing they ask to do. I put them in the back and they paddle the whole way, and we hardly do a thing. Amazing trip, better than Disney. Trust me. Silver Springs is awesome. They have stand up paddleboards and single kayaks too... All well worth it. You will see Alligators and Monkeys and more birds and fish than you can imagine.
