Hey Everyone! Have you ever encountered the monkeys at Silver Springs?? I would love to hear your stories!
😁If you go a little further south outside the park where the Silver River meets the Ocklawaha River you will definitely see the monkeys. But be forewarned they can be nasty little shits.They like to scream and throw things at you and if it happens to be mating season and it's a troop with an alpha male it will jump in the water and chase your boat.👍😁
The creature spring history was awesome. Always enjoy seeing the alligators and manatees. Monkey🐒 sighting 😂
Great video!!
Thank you!! ☺️🫶🏽
I'm fortunate enough to live locally and get to kayak the Silver River quite often. The Monkeys can be seen from the water around 50 percent of the time. They are often seen further down the 5 mile stretch of river. Regarding the Manatees, this year there were about 16 that were calling Silver River home with a few new born that could be seen.
Awesome, why are you not allowed to swim there? I can’t find anything on internet
I always enjoy your gorgeous videos. Thank you so much! 🥳💐❤️
Aww... thank you so much, K LL! :) I always enjoy hearing from you! Hope you're doing well!
Another amazing video. So relaxing to go to the Springs. Water so.crystal clear. alligators.😳👀.Manatee so beautiful. Saw the monkeys. So much fun. Waiting for the next video.Thank- you
Thank you so much! We were hoping to see many more monkeys, but we're so glad we at least caught the one on the trail. Thank you so much for your incredible support!
I’ve gone twice. I haven’t seen the monkeys yet. We even went to the trail side of the park and walked 6 miles looking for them. That’s awesome that you saw one !
I still can’t believe we finally saw one!! 😁 I seriously didn’t think it was going to happen. At least we’re not alone is our chase trying to see these elusive monkeys!!
Wow, that's rare seeing a monkey. The manatees are gracious as ever to see too. I'm amazed at all that crystal clear spring water at locations in Florida. We have a treasure here worth preserving. Thumbs up presentation!
Philthy!! I hope you’re doing well! 🤗 we were sooo excited to finally see a monkey!! Every time I visit a spring, I am always so grateful to live so close to such incredible places! They definitely are treasures worth preserving. I completely agree.
@@ChrissaTravels doing fine just getting older. Is Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth worth a review in St. Augustine?
@@miszced same here….the fountain of youth is definitely worth a review! We actually have an older video that features the fountain of youth, but it could absolutely use an update. We are planning on creating an updated St Augustine video! We could update The Fountain of Youth while we’re at it. I’ll add it to the list! ☺️✅
Qué hermosas Maravilla de nuestro Creador YAHWEH‼HalleluYah‼🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Me and a friend once canoed up the river to the springs(saves the cost of admission :D ) We didn't time it very well and it got dark on the way back and I mean no moon dark. We could barely tell that we were in the middle of the river and all of a sudden the canoe hits and goes over something. If you have ever been there during the day you know there are no obstructions in the middle of the river so it had to be a gator we ran over. I still get chills thinking about that adventure.
Whoa….I can’t even imagine how creepy that had to be!! I’m glad you made it back safely!
Great video! We will be going here next month during our trip to Orlando!
It is incredible!! I hope you have an awesome time!
I live about a mile from Silver Springs. It sends up over a million gallons of water per day of over 99% pure water. The clarity of the water is breathtaking. The monkeys have learned to swim (yes, the gators leave them alone) and they do come across the river and climb onto people’s roofs! No one is glad when that happens because about 30% of these monkeys have herpes B. They can be very aggressive and nasty! There is no more relaxing, peaceful, quiet place to forget about everything that troubles you, and just relax while paddling. It is a restorative place where one can just BE.
I couldn't agree more. When life gets hectic...paddling in a place as beautiful as Silver Springs or any of the incredible springs in Florida bring me back to life! However, I could only imagine how chaotic it can be with monkeys on your roof!!
A monkey scurrying over a roof than suddenly on a screened-in lanai! Hmmm, pass.
BTW, crystal clear water still hard water?
They are invasive, and should've been removed a long time ago, but I enjoyed your sense of adventure finding them & the beauty of the place.
