– Elizabeth A. | TripadvisorMe and my family have never experienced clear kayaks before and they were awesome! The kids loved them!
– John A. | TripadvisorSuper amazing and fun experience! The guide was very knowledgeable about the springs and wildlife! The spring water is cold and refreshing, but feels great after paddling to the spots you can get out at.
– Emily S. | TripadvisorThis was an incredible paddle and the clear kayaks made it worth it! The really cool part is that the guide shows you some hidden spring areas where you can jump in and snorkel! I recommend wearing a hat because there isn’t a ton of shady places. Also, bring water shoes and snorkeling gear!
