Explore Seven Sisters Springs by Clear Kayak
On this guided tour, we’ll paddle through winding waters and spring-fed channels towards Seven Sisters Springs, a hidden gem surrounded by giant trees, and limestone caverns. This unique spot is only accessible by water!
From our 100% clear kayaks, you’ll get a view like no other. Directly underneath you, you’ll see natural springs, fish, and cave formations. Then, we’ll hop in for a refreshing swim in the year-round 72°F spring water.
During your trip, your guide will point out wildlife, share their local knowledge, and lead you through an epic 2-hour adventure! Expect to be blown away by Florida’s natural beauty on this tour of the Chaz!

Our weight limit is no more than 250 pounds per person and no more than 425 pounds per 2 people that are in the same kayak. All of our kayaks are double kayaks. Unfortunately our kayak manufacturer has given us this strict limit of 250 pounds per person and we cannot exceed this limit.
-
Each of our kayaks are tandem (made for 2 paddlers). However, the seats are removable and if you have an odd number of paddlers in your party we are able to accommodate the kayak as a single.
Keep in mind, the same 250 pound PER person weight limit still applies even if taking a kayak out as a single.
