Ashley is a Florida native from Jupiter and grew up exploring natural areas in Florida with her family. She spends most of her time on the water paddling, camping and eating pub subs in the great outdoors. She loves being an eco guide because it’s the best way to spend a day- meeting new people, helping create lasting memories, sharing knowledge of the freshwater ecosystem and educating guests on conservation efforts to keep Florida beautiful! There’s no where else she’d rather be.
My name is Jeremy Ansley, I graduated from Louisiana Tech University in 2010 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Psychology and History. I’ve since dedicated a lot of my life to learning about the human body, medicine, and how to care for the sick. I started my healthcare career in 2015 in EMS as an EMT for Volusia County, working and receiving my state certifications in Firefighting and Paramedicine in 2016. I continued my pursuit of higher education at an Osteopathic Medical School in 2018, completing the first year of graduate studies. In 2022, I graduated from Daytona State College with an Associate Degree in Nursing and currently work both as a nurse and tour guide. I’ve always loved spending time outdoors, and while professionally I’ve spent the past several years working in healthcare, I’ve grown even more to appreciate the experiences in life that bring joy to people. The path I’ve taken to get where I’m at today has been incredibly enlightening, and I’m grateful every day to guide adventures! There is so much that I enjoy about being a tour guide, but one of the best parts for me is just watching a family create beautiful memories together. I love all the laughter and smiles these magical places bring about and getting to take people on a “once in a lifetime” experience, I mean, come on, what’s not to love about being a tour guide?!
Megan is originally from Maryland close to DC, but is happy to call the Sunshine State home! She has a degree in Psychology and is now at a ministry school called Jesus School! She loves being in nature, whether it’s the springs, beach or mountains and is always down for an adventure. Megan’s favorite thing about guiding is seeing people experiencing the beauty of creation, connecting with each other and having fun! When she’s not in a kayak, you can find her singing, doing calligraphy, and exploring all that Florida has to offer.
Hi, I’m Brittany! I’m from Winter Garden, FL. I enjoy almost everything outdoors including hiking, camping, and kayaking. I love getting to know the people on my tours and sharing the excitement I have when encountering the wildlife we have in Florida. Before becoming a guide, I worked on a trail crew completing conservation projects around Colorado. I’m an environmental science major at UCF and hope to continue to work hands-on in the conservation/ecotourism field.
Hey there! My name is Cameron. I am a life long Florida native, born and raised in The greater Orlando area. My passion for wildlife started from a very young age as I was naturally very curious about all the critters in our own backyards. From there it blossomed into a life of hiking, fishing, herping, and kayaking! Becoming a tour guide has enabled me to share that passion for our diverse ecosystem with people from all over the world. I love what I do and I can’t wait to be out on the water to share an amazing experience with you!
Hey, I’m Christina! As a Florida native, I am obsessed with everything in and on the water! My hobbies include kayaking, snorkeling, traveling, and cookie decorating! Can’t wait to meet you on the water.
Get Up And Go Kayaking – Rock Springs is where it all started. Founder of Get Up And Go Kayaking, Justin, gave tours at this amazing location back in 2016 when the company first started. This beautiful location was featured on ABC’s “The Bachelor” in 2022 (on Clayton’s season) and has also been featured in USA TODAY, Travel & Leisure, and Insider.
We are passionate about conservation and education. This is why we donate a portion of every single tour to Conservation Florida and other Springs organizations. If you’re looking for something amazing to do near Orlando beyond the theme parks, THIS is it!
Let’s adventure together and share memories that will last a lifetime! Come find the true beauty of Rock Springs at Kings Landing!
We encourage you to bring the following:
Our tours are made for any skill levels to participate, we will have basic tips and tricks to help you maneuver the waterways. Some paddling may be considered intermediate as we paddle against a 3mph current but we try our best to paddle at a pace that is convenient for every paddler! We do require all guests to stay with the group.
Tips are greatly appreciated. We like to say, “If you enjoyed your ride, tip your guide!”
Standard US gratuity is 20%!
Yes! 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.
Trips that are canceled by Get Up And Go Kayaking due to inclement weather, will be rescheduled or refunded.
Reservations that are cancelled 48 hours or more before a scheduled trip will not be charged. Those that are cancelled or in need of rescheduling within the 48 hour window of departure time will not be refunded.
No-show participants will not be refunded. This includes showing up with less paddlers than the original amount booked for.
Get Up And Go Kayaking will not launch in unsafe weather conditions. Because of this, trips may need to be cancelled or rescheduled due to safety issues. If this is the case, your reservation will be refunded in full (if it has already been paid). We will not be held responsible for any reservation that you fail to keep due to any unforeseen circumstances. We also reserve the right to change or cancel any tours due to circumstances beyond our control. In this instance, Get Up And Go Kayaking can refund the tour price, not any other expenses that may have been incurred.
Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate pets at this time at our Rock Springs location.
