Florida's Springs & Wildlife

Our routes wind through some of Central Florida's clearest spring-fed rivers, shaded by cypress and jungle canopy. The water stays a cool 72°F year-round, so the wildlife never leaves — on any given paddle you might spot:

Manatees

Gentle giants that graze in the clear, spring-fed water year-round.

Wild Monkeys

Rhesus macaques often spotted swinging through the cypress trees along the bank.

River Otters

Playful and quick — keep an eye on the water for a passing splash.

Great Blue Herons

Tall, patient waders that fish the shallows right alongside your kayak.

Turtles

Dozens sun themselves on logs along every route we paddle.

Alligators

Native to the river and usually seen resting calmly at a distance.

Routes & Pricing

Every route winds through clear spring water and shaded jungle canopy. Pick your distance, pick your gear.
