School’s Out, Summer’s Here: Come Cool Off with a Clear Kayaking Tour at Rainbow Springs
If you’re looking for one of the best summer activities in Florida, clear kayaking at Rainbow Springs should be on your list. Whether you’re a local needing an escape or planning a Florida vacation, this guided tour combines adventure, relaxation, and refreshing, crystal-clear spring water in the most beautiful way.
There’s something kind of magical about starting the summer off with a guided kayaking tour. The kids are out of school, the sun’s shining, and everyone’s ready for a change of pace. This tour gives you that and more. It’s outside, it’s screen-free, and it’s the best way to actually enjoy the heat instead of hiding from it.
Summer in Dunnellon
Located in the quiet town of Dunnellon, Rainbow Springs is one of Florida’s most loved natural springs. It’s known for its clear, cool spring water and peaceful surroundings, making it the perfect spot to explore by kayak, especially a totally CLEAR kayak. Our guests enjoy our 100% clear kayaks so you can see the world beneath you while floating through one of the most beautiful rivers in the state.
When people search for things to do in Dunnellon, clear kayaking always makes the list. While tubing and hiking are great options too, nothing compares to the immersive experience of gliding over Rainbow River in a clear kayak and getting out into the refreshing spring water. Dunnellon is a laid-back town, but this tour adds a little adventure and a whole lot of beauty to your visit.
Why Rainbow Springs Is a Must for Summer
Summers in Florida can be hot and muggy, but Rainbow Springs offers a break from the heat. The water stays 72 degrees all year long, which feels amazing when the sun is out and you want to cool off. On this tour, you stop at a shaded creek only known by the locals. It’s where you get out of your kayak to explore, cool off in the refreshing spring water and snap a few photos! Just dipping your feet in is enough to cool you down, but swimming in it is even better. The water is so clean and refreshing that you’ll feel better the second you hop in. It’s an experience that gives you time to really enjoy nature, your surroundings and a chance to cool off.
What You’ll See on the Clear Kayaking Tour
This isn’t just a paddle, it’s a guided experience. Our knowledgeable local guides will lead you along the river and show you all the hidden gems along the way. Expect to see fish, birds, turtles, and possibly even otters playing nearby. The natural beauty around you is nonstop, and with the clear kayak, you won’t miss a thing beneath the surface either.
Why Clear Kayaking Makes It Even Better
If you’ve kayaked before, you already know how peaceful it can be. But kayaking in a clear vessel takes it to a whole new level. Instead of just seeing the surface, you get to experience what’s happening underwater too. It’s like floating over an aquarium. Kids and adults both love it, and it’s a great way to make memories without the stress of planning a complicated day trip.
This tour is beginner-friendly, family-friendly, and a top pick for couples or small groups looking for a unique way to spend some time outdoors.
Beginner? No Problem.
First time kayaking? No worries. Get Up and Go Kayaking’s guides are experienced, friendly, and helpful. They’ll show you how to paddle, steer, and stay safe on the water. The group sizes are small, so you won’t feel lost in a crowd, and the pace is relaxed. Even if you’ve never picked up a paddle before, you’ll feel comfortable within the first few minutes on the water.
Why This Tour Stands Out
There are lots of ways to explore Florida’s springs, but this tour is different. It’s not a rental where you’re sent off on your own. It’s not a crowded group where you can’t hear your guide. It’s a small, guided tour that gives you personal attention and time to explore, ask questions, take photos, and just enjoy being in nature.
After your kayaking tour, you can stroll through historic downtown Dunnellon, grab a bite at a local restaurant along the river or take a dip in nearby swimming areas. Whether you join us for a morning tour or our sunset tour, come and make a day of it. You wont be disappointed.
