Before You Book

Silver Springs Questions

Are there really wild monkeys?
Yes — rhesus macaques have lived wild along the Silver River since a 1930s tour operator released them, and troops are still spotted in the trees today. Observe only; never feed wildlife.
How clear is the water?
Silver Springs is one of the largest artesian spring systems on earth, pushing 550+ million gallons of filtered 72°F water daily — clarity that made glass-bottom boats famous here 150 years ago.
What does the Silver Springs tour cost?
Same pricing as every All Out inland location: Wildlife Tour $50/person (1 hr), Sunset Photography $75/person (2 hrs), Alligator Tracking $95/person (2 hrs), Island BBQ $175/person (3–8 hrs), private charters from $500. Book online at aowefl.com/booking.
Is it kid-friendly?
Yes — ages 5 and up ride with us. Child-sized life jackets and hearing protection are provided, and the 1-hour Wildlife Tour is the perfect first airboat ride for younger guests.
When should I book?
Tours run by reservation, 7 days a week. Weekends and sunset slots fill first — book a few days ahead, or call/text 352-587-3422 for same-day availability.
