Small Group Rock Springs Run Eco Kayak Adventure
Itinerary
Admission included180 min
Get ready for a laid-back, immersive paddle through one of Florida’s most stunning natural gems—Rock Springs Run. On this guided kayak tour, you’ll journey into a pristine world that looks much like it did when the Timucuan tribes once lived here. Your guide will lead you through crystal-clear waters that wind past sand pine scrub, lush jungle-like foliage, and serene pine flatwoods. As you paddle, keep your eyes peeled for turtles sunning on logs, playful otters slipping through the water, white-tailed deer, and even the occasional black bear in the distance. Birds are everywhere—egrets, herons, maybe even a barred owl or bald eagle overhead. It’s an out-and-back adventure: we’ll paddle upstream first, ducking under low-hanging branches and winding through gentle twists. Along the way, you’ll have time to hop in and swim in the refreshingly cool, gin-clear spring. Then it’s a relaxed drift back downstream with the current, soaking in the sights and sounds of old Florida wilderness.

The BEST Adventure with Sue!
I cannot think of enough positive adjectives to use to describe how amazing our guide Sue was on our adventure. From the very beginning, she so incredibly friendly, and energetic. You can tell she loves being a guide. Throughout the adventure, she was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and vegetation. She was amazingly patient, as we have only gone kayaking a couple of other times and she offered great instruction and challenges in the best possible ways. She made it all so much FUN, she is so personable. We would recommend her to anyone who would like to have a great adventure and we will request her again if we are back in the area. Sue was the BEST!!

Nature at its best
We decided last minute to do this tour…so glad we did. What an awesome experience, would definitely do again and again. Jimi was our guide and he was wonderful and so knowledgeable about everything nature. Also great at spotting all the wildlife, alligators, all kinds of birds, turtles and plant life. I highly recommend the 3 hour tour, the extra time is great. My husband and I were able to share a kayak so he could row while I took pictures.

Fun day on the water!
We paddled the 3-hour eco tour with our guide Sue and a small group of 8 new friends. The creek is mostly shallow and crystal clear. Weather was perfect for a quick swim too. Rock Springs Run is a true gem of nature with its beauty and serenity. Sue makes this kayak trip inclusive for all levels of experience, providing ongoing instruction and encouragement to newbies while allowing the more experienced to lead ahead. She engaged in enthusiastic conversations with participants and provided ecological information throughout the trip. I highly recommend this kayak tour with Sue.
