Our Story

From Switzerland to Florida

Our story began years ago, when we first traveled from Switzerland to Florida. We instantly fell in love with the breathtaking springs, the lush nature, and the friendly people. Every vacation deepened our passion for this unique place, and together with our three children, we spent every possible moment exploring Florida’s rivers and forests.

The dream of living and working here grew stronger with every visit. Eventually, we made it a reality by purchasing Silver Springs Kayaking LLC – one of the most beautiful workplaces anyone could imagine.

We are a family-owned company and the proud owners of Silver Springs Kayaking.

With a 4.9 ⭐ rating on TripAdvisor from over 200+ happy guests, Silver Springs Kayaking is one of the top-rated eco-adventures in Florida.

We rented kayaks for 2 hours, but we finished the loop in about an hour and 30 min. You could honestly do it in one hour. Renting the kayaks was very simple. Get there early! We got there right at opening time, 8:00 AM, and we didn’t see anyone for the first 30 minutes. Great experience.

My niece and I had a wonderful experience with Silver Springs Kayaking. The morning started off pretty cold, temps in the 30s but by the afternoon it ended up being the perfect day to take the easy float down the river. We saw plenty of wildlife! It’s a very relaxing guided tour and I highly recommend.
