Oerfect for Families
This was our second Get Up and Go Kayaking trip, but a first for this location. Our guide, Andres, was wonderful. He made sure to tell us all about the river, springs, and wildlife. He also made sure each guest had an opportunity to see things throughout the trip. The part of the trip where we went off the main river was also stunning and gave everyone an opportunity to cool off in the crystal clear waters.
Operator response
Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review We are so happy to know your experience was wonderful with Andres. We hope to host you for a third time in the future!

Beautiful day on the water!
We had a great time kayaking rainbow springs. Our guide Andres was very knowledgeable and pointed out all the animals and caves in the springs. The kayaking was easy and we loved getting to bring our dog. It was a beautiful day and the water was refreshing and clear. Will definitely do this again.

Check travel time before booking
We never made it to Rainbow Springs. We were staying near Kissimmee and had a two drive ahead of us each way. Much to far for our party of seven ages 7 to 70. We talked to the staff and told them we didn’t realize it was so far and we weren’t coming.She understood and said would try to do something and call back. No call back. My bad for not checking location, Trip Advisor was rating attractions near Orlando and we took the nibble. We went to Gatorland instead, I’d give it a 5 star rating, once you’ve inside you don’t want to leave 😊
Operator response
Thanks for sharing your experience, and we’re sorry there was confusion around the location and travel distance. Our team did speak with you at the time and looked into options. We always do our best to help where we can, but once a reservation is booked we’re unable to make changes or cancellations if the decision is made not to attend, as all sales are final. If you’d like to discuss further, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

Unforgettable Family Experience
Andres was a wonderful guide on an unforgettable experience for our family! Our kids, 3 and 6, loved helping to "paddle" on each of their parents' boats and the trek up the tributary from the main river was incredible for all of us. Easy to coordinate and a perfect duration. Highly recommend for anyone!!
Operator response
Thanks for the great review! Sounds like you had such a special family adventure! Andres will be so thrilled to hear this! Love that your little paddlers got in on the action too 💛 Thanks for the high recommendation. We are happy you joined us, and we’d love to have your family back anytime!

Clear water adventure
The kayaks are tandem…we missed that so were very surprised when we arrived. The kayaks seats are not rear friendly. Two hours was long enough. Andy, our guide took great care of us and was very informative. The scenery and nature was beautiful. We saw eagles, turtles, alligators, ducks, a variety of birds and many underwater caves and springs.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate you sharing your experience as we continue improving our guest experience. We're happy to hear your guide took excellent care of your group and you saw all the amazing wildlife! Thanks for joining us.

Very nice tour, the place is very quiet and the kayaking ideal for the family.
Recommended, a super bread for those who come to Orlando. Guide Ronnie has a lot of patience and good stories to tell about these springs.
Operator response
