The afternoon was amazing. Our guide took her time to show us the most beautiful parts of the springs. Bring binoculars as there is abundant wildlife to view. The park itself is beautiful. Be ready to spend extra time relaxing in the sun after the paddle board excursion .

Hi Sharyn! Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was such a pleasure paddling with you at Rainbow Springs. The afternoon really was beautiful and I’m so glad you were able to enjoy the wildlife and the peaceful parts of the springs. There is so much to see out there and binoculars are definitely a great tip! I love taking our time so guests can really soak in the beauty of the springs. And you’re absolutely right, it’s the perfect place to relax in the sun and enjoy the park after the paddle. Hope we get to see you again for another adventure sometime!

Family day trip
Fab family day trip with Craig in the most stunning setting ever seen - took a petrified 9 year old who we were unsure if would be able to keep up and who was worried about alligators! He had the most incredible day - Craig was super patient with him and he was ahead of everybody else for most of the trip - was an incredible family experience - one not to be missed

Craig absolutely loved paddling with your little one, and we’re so glad he felt comfortable and confident—even with those alligator jitters! It’s always amazing to see kids (and adults!) discover how much fun Florida’s waterways can be, and we’re honored you chose to spend your day with us.

Wonderful Paddle Board Trip with Rachelle
A great experience through the wonderful Rainbow Springs. Everyone should take the chance to see the crystal clear rivers and springs and Rachelle from Otter Paddle organizes all this wonderfully and can also tell and show a lot about it.
Would recommend everyone to book their tour with Otter Paddle.

Great experience with Otter Paddle- Rainbow springs
Amazing experience with very knowledgeable and friendly Rochelle with Otter Paddle company. The 2.5 hours went by very quickly and glad we did the 8AM option before the crowds showed up after 10AM or so. All the different colors and vast wildlife was so nice to see and if Rochelle was not with us to guide various things to see we would of missed many nice experiences. Great pictures and video from the team too! thank you :)

Thank you so much Bill for the wonderful review! It was such a joy paddling with you and your family for Father’s Day. I'm so glad you all chose the early tour—there’s truly nothing like that peaceful morning light and all the wildlife that comes out to play before the crowds roll in. I'm happy I could help point out some of the hidden gems along the way, and thrilled you enjoyed the photos and videos!
I hope you had an amazing rest of your weekend celebrating and relaxing together. We'd love to see you all again for another adventure soon!

Wonderful and memorable experience
The trip was amazing. Rachelle is very kind and patient. She offered plenty of one on one instruction which is prefect for a beginner like me. We went for a walk and swim in a small creek at rainbow spring. The water is crystal clear and beautiful. I enjoyed swimming with the fishes. Rachelle give us time to explore, take a lot of photos for us and even let us try out the underwater motor. It is a unique experience

Our first time paddle boarding and the experience was amazing. We will definitely be back. Our Host and guide for the day Carol was not only accommodating and professional she was personable and very knowledgeable about the area. She explained everything throughly and made sure we were comfortable before heading out on the river. Highly recommended! We will be back for sure!

Booking with otter paddle has shown me parts of Fl I wouldn’t have been able to see and enjoy alone. Craig and Rachelle are positive, friendly, and knowledgeable and it so nice to see their passion for nature and outdoors. They truly go above and beyond for their guests and make each trip memorable. I have loved booking with them and will book again. Looking forward to my next springs paddle!! Thank you for such an amazing experience and photos!

Amazing experience!
We had THE BEST time Rachelle and Craig paddle boarding at Silver Springs and Rainbow Springs. They were so down to earth I almost forgot I was on a tour and felt like we were just hanging with friends. They were so knowledgeable about the areas and it really shows how much they love what they do. They even took great pics and videos too! The paddle boards were very nice and comfy. Both trips were so relaxing and beautiful and I can’t wait to schedule another trip with them soon! Highly recommend!
