Description
Rainbow Springs Clear Kayak Tour - Crystal Clear Kayaking
Take a paddle through the crystalline waters of Rainbow Springs! This paddle is what any outdoor enthusiast or adventure-seeker is looking for. Year-round, we experience wildlife such as fish, gators, turtles, birds, otters, and more! There are multiple areas where participants can take a quick swim if they choose.
Rainbow Springs is the 4th largest spring in Florida and a must-see for paddlers looking for incredible visibility and vibrant aquatic life. This 2 to 2.5-hour guided eco tour takes you through the crystal-clear waters of Rainbow River in a clear tandem kayak. You’ll paddle upstream for a bit of a challenge, then float back downstream surrounded by wildlife and lush Florida scenery.
