Thanks so much for booking with Ecoventure Tours!

We can't wait to get you out on the water with our 100% clear kayaks! Our clear kayaks will allow you to truly be immersed in all the beauty that Florida has to offer!

Before we get started...

PLEASE ARRIVE 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE TOUR START TIME!

This ensures that all tours start and finish at the proper times in order to be mindful and courteous of other guests that could be paddling with you.

Your tour guide will wait for up to 15 minutes for any late guests. After the 15 minute grace period, we will leave without your group and will be unable to issue a refund.

All tours will begin promptly at the start time of the tour! This policy is strictly enforced.

PARK LAUNCH FEES:

Per park policy ALL GUESTS are responsible for their own launch fees at the park. Silver Springs State Park requires a $2 state park admission + $4 launch fee per vessel.

Please be sure to arrive with adequate amount of time to pay this fee before your tour.

LOCATION:

We will meet and launch at Silver Springs State Park:

5656 E. Silver Springs Blvd.
Silver Springs, FL 34488

Upon entering the park, proceed to the main parking lot on the left. Drive straight ahead, following the signs for Paddling Adventure, until you reach the far end of the parking lot, which is the kayaking area. Feel free to park in any available space. We'll be waiting to meet you near the kayak staging area before the tour begins.

Your tour guide should contact you by text with the number you provided on your booking. This will help with finding the exact location of our meeting spot before hitting the water.

GRATUITY:

In the ecotourism industry we have a saying, "If you enjoyed your ride, tip your guide!". While gratuity is optional, our guides work very hard to prepare for each tour, to ensure your safety, and ultimately for you to leave this experience creating lifelong memories with your loved ones! Any amount is hugely appreciated! Mahalo!

WAIVERS:

Please fill out waivers for each guest in your group before your arrival.

Each guest is required to sign a waiver. Children (guests under the age of 18) will need a parent/guardian to fill out a waiver for them. Waivers can be filled out by clicking the link below and we ask that you try to complete all waivers before arriving so we can get you out on the water as soon as possible!
