    We had a great time zip lining. There were 9 lines and took about two hours to complete! Mayshaira and Kaye were great guides and felt very safe with them! Great experience and didn't feel like we were in Florida.

    Such a great place! Came for my birthday. 4 in total and all of us had a blast. Tour guides made sure everyone was safe and gave clear instructions. Plus beautiful areas we ziplined over. I would recommend 100% to friends and family.

    I came here and had a blast. Our guides Tiana and Andy were great. We did the "best of the best" tour that included 6 zip lines and a rappel. The zip lines were very fun and at times scary. The views were gorgeous. The trails were well kept. There's lots of water along the way. They do a whole bunch of tours including horse back riding.

    I showed up here with zero experience and the staff got me set up and guided me along the way. Breathtaking views and an overall great experience. There is a little hiking and steps, but the gear is not heavy. You can't bring much with you on the zip line so make sure your pocket zip shut or you can buy one of their pouches that clips onto your gear.

    Went with a group of friends and boy did we have a great time. It is worth the every penny. Our zip guides Rob and James were awesome. The two other friends brought along were afraid of heights and by the end were comfortable as ever and very happy they went! Safety is evident everywhere and the staff is very safety conscious. You can also see that the staff love their jobs! We took the 9 zip 2 bridge tour, not listed here. Took us about 3 hours from reservation start time to finish. Few things worth noting. If you're a smoker, just know there is no smoking or vaping. Also, eat a light lunch or breads beforehand or bring a snack bar or something you can put in your pocket or small bag that you can attach to yourself. They sell some in the office for sale. Water is provided at regular intervals in coolers and paper cups although it's not cold so if you're someone who likes cold water, bring some along but make sure it's attached to your body. Overall, I've been here twice and both times it was a blast. Highly recommend. The views alone are breathtaking.

    So much fun and our guides Ross and Bailey were amazing and encouraging and took the time to learn everyone's name. Thank you Ross and Bailey for making my birthday weekend start off with a bang.

    Great experience! Our tour guides Ashely & Piper were amazing. They were very knowledgeable about the grounds and the horses which made the tour all that more exciting. My horse was Kailua & she was gorgeous! Will def do it again

    Yesterday we went for Valentine's Day and had a great experience. Austin and Ross were great tour guide and made it very fun. Definitely coming back and doing a longer zip line and tour.

    Amazing time even in the rain! Demtrius and Josiah were great guides very fun and informative with the extra bonus of being nice to look at with great smiles and amazing laughs included. They both made me feel confident and safe at all times. Highly recommend going the views are stunning and the most elevation I've ever seen/experienced in Florida. Request Demtrius and Josiah for guides you won't be disappointed. (Probably miss spelled their names that wasn't part of the ground school test)

    I've had the chance to experience just about everything The Canyons has to offer -- from the Full Moon Zip Tour and the Big Cliff Canyon 9-Zip Tour, to the kayak tour, daytime horseback ride, and the fireside nighttime horseback adventure. Every single experience has completely satisfied my craving for outdoor adventure and allowed me to enjoy nature in such a fun and memorable way. No matter the activity, the guides have always been knowledgeable, friendly, and great at making everyone -- especially first-timers -- feel comfortable and confident. Their passion for what they do really shows, and it adds so much to the overall experience. The check-in process is always smooth and efficient, especially since you can review and sign waivers ahead of time. On the rare occasion when a tour needed to be rescheduled or canceled, the staff member who called was always polite, professional, and incredibly helpful. The Canyons has quickly become one of my favorite go-to spots for outdoor adventures in Ocala, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    An AMAZING experience at The Canyons Zip Line! I've been zip lining in other states and this was even better than I expected, especially in Florida! The canyon views were absolutely beautiful, and I love that the tour felt very immersed in nature and not just an obstacle course type of park. Being up in the tree tops and zipping across beautiful lakes was incredible! I wish I could have taken more photos but some of the best views are while you're zipping! We did the Best of the Best 6 zip line tour and it was perfect. It eliminates the "low and slow" bunny zips for anyone who has been before and gets straight to the good stuff. The lines we did were long (including the longest in FL) and super fast! Our guides Caleb and Taley were amazing as well and kept us safe and made the tour really fun. I would definitely come back and would highly recommend!

    Terry's smile says it all!

    When you're doing something like zip lining for the very first time, it can be a little intimidating. And exciting! The anticipation builds as you listen to the instructions from the guides. If you're really lucky, like we were today with both Ryleigh and Ivan - you'll have guides who are friendly, knowledgeable, experienced, and just plain fun to be with! That makes all the difference! We could trust the process listening to their every word and as a result, had a blast! In fact everyone we spoke with was great - on the phone and in person. Ryleigh and Ivan are awesome! So fun!! Thanks guys, see ya down the road!

    Ryan and Ross were AMAZING guides!! Loved the conversations, humor and the way they connected with everyone. I was shocked that they have this experience in Florida. I look forward to visiting again!

    Is this something a 12 year old could do?

    Yea you have to be 10 or over to go on the sky high zip but you have to be 13 or over to for the child to go by themselves

    What is the prices of the zip line tours and the horse ride tours . Also do you have group rates?

    No. My wife and her sister are afraid. They can just hang out.

From the moment we arrived, the place had this incredible energy -- the kind of spot that instantly makes you think, I'd camp here in a heartbeat. The grounds were beautiful, the amenities looked top‑notch, and the whole atmosphere felt like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. And the staff? Absolutely phenomenal. Genuine, warm, and the kind of people who clearly love what they do. I hesitated to wander into the camper store since we weren't staying overnight, but now I wish I had -- the whole place had that welcoming, "come on in" vibe. I wasn't sure if the campground and airboat tours were run separately, but everyone we met felt like part of one big, enthusiastic team. Before the tour, the staff came out and gave us a fascinating crash course on gators -- and then we got to hold Luke the gator. Let me tell you, once you hold Luke, something changes. You walk away feeling like you've bonded with a gator. I'm not kidding -- I still catch myself wondering how Luke is doing. Then came the airboat ride. We loaded up, the engine kicked in, and suddenly we were flying across the lake. Our tour guide Kyle was outstanding -- knowledgeable, funny, confident, and able to answer every question thrown his way. For my first airboat experience, I was genuinely impressed by how smooth and skilled he was behind the controls. We spotted plenty of baby gators and even a mama gator. Sure, I would've loved to see a few more, but for the price, the thrill, and the overall experience, it was absolutely worth it. We were on the 12:45 tour, so the time of day may have played a role -- but honestly, I left feeling thrilled. If I could change one thing, it would be knowing ahead of time that tips for the guides are cash‑only. We weren't carrying American cash, and Kyle definitely earned a tip. Adding that note to the FAQ or confirmation messages would be super helpful for future guests. All in all, this was an unforgettable experience -- exciting, educational, and genuinely fun from start to finish. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for something unique, thrilling, and full of heart.

    My parents were reminiscing about when they were middle school aged and came here for field trips…read more I was surprised to find out that Silver Springs State Park and the glass bottom boat tours have been around for that long! It was about a 1.5 hour ride from Orlando. Woke up real early on a Saturday (on honestly one of the coldest days of the year) to arrive at the park around 8am. I highly suggest purchasing glass bottom boat tour tickets online about a week in advance atleast since time slots fill up! We purchased the 1.5 hour tour on the boats. Our tour guide was incredible and shared so much knowledge and facts about the wildlife and park. I got to see tons of manatees! Plus getting to see gators, turtles, birds, and even monkeys! The glass bottom gives such a cool perspective on viewing the wildlife and plants underwater. Aside from the tour, we walked several trails to enjoy the great outdoors. Also, we had coffee in the morning when we first got here and lunch after the tour. The food was pretty good and filling. At the gift shop I made sure to leave with a magnet and Christmas ornament to remember such a great day here.

    What a breathtaking location! From the parking lot, it doesn't look like much. They are redoing the…read moreentrance sign, and from the outside, it seems like the place might be pretty rundown. However, once you walk through, you are quickly transported. The entrance to the park is only two dollars per person, and honestly, in my opinion, they could charge just a little bit more. The glass-bottom boat tours run faster than you might expect, so if you have the time (which we didn't during our visit), opt for the longer boat ride; it doesn't cost much more. They also have little shops to explore and plenty of outdoor seating so you can take in the beautiful surroundings. If you're a water lover, make sure to plan ahead and reserve a crystal-clear kayak or paddleboard to enjoy the water--it'll be worth every penny. The only hiccup in our plan was that we booked everything on the day of our visit, so we ended up with a shorter tour on the glass-bottom boats and got locked into the last kayaking time slot. The woman at the reservation desk for the kayaks was not very pleasant. She told us that despite showing a 5 o'clock slot, they were no longer taking reservations. I showed her the option on my phone, but she still refused to let us sign waivers. Luckily, we found the manager in charge of the rental hut, who advised that we could still make our reservation online. I showed him on my phone, and although we'd have to pay full price and probably have less than an hour, that was perfectly fine with us since we were in the last slot. The lake was practically empty, so we had the entire waterway to ourselves--so beautiful and peaceful. Honestly, it felt like we were in another country, surrounded by nature. If you don't have the chance to kayak, there's also a walking path where you can see monkeys left behind from one of the movies that was filmed on location. We walked part of the path, and it was just as beautiful. Any chance my kids and I get to be outside in nature, we gravitate towards it, putting away our phones to enjoy everything around us. What a great way to spend your day and your vacation!
