    Went down for a guided 3hr solo paddle board rental, mid week. My tour guide, Brad, hands down the best! Very friendly, sociable, and a wealth of information about the river. The springs and river are beautiful. Lots of wildlife to see- got to see a wood duck and her babies, turtles, and gators. Can’t recommend doing a tour with Brad enough! He was so good that even others on the river tried to follow along just to learn. And, when I did the last hour on my own, others were asking about his tour. Go now!

    We had a booking at 12:30 the driver/tour guide never showed up. I would not recommend this company or booking through Viator

    Fantastic time kayaking in Rainbow springs

    Anastasia_M, Jul 2026
    We really enjoyed our kayaking experience in Rainbow springs. We rented a clear tandem kayak from Sassy. The kayak was waiting for us right at the dock. Ryan gave us all the instructions where to go to make sure we see all of the springs. Within minutes of arrival we were on the water exploring and having a wonderful time. The water is magical; we saw lots of wildlife (and didn't see a single gator!). Would definitely return!

    Ryan was very helpful. I had a message from him an hour before guiding me on how to get my entrance band and how busy it was. He even gave his personal number so if I had issues I could call or message him. He was very thorough with directions on where to go and what to see. While out on the river he even checked up to make sure all was going smoothly. Great experience. I recommend so that you are guaranteed to have a spot on the river.

    Great Trip

    Definitely park your kayak and get out and walk back in the snorkeling area. Absolutely beautiful. They provide snorkeling gear which was a bonus. Only downside was we wanted single kayaks and got tandem.

    Great kayak experience

    KP Solo Kayak

    Kaley_M, May 2026
    Tour company called to confirm drop off location! Met at KP! Arrived earlier to secure a spot! Kayaked upstream towards Rainbow Springs. It dead ends into a swimming area, you can't miss your turn around point. You can dock there and explore the grounds. Took about an hour and 15 to get upstream going at a very slow pace. Downstream was against the river, easy to coast down. I texted the tour company that I was finished, and he came to pick it up at the dock. Easy enough! Enjoyed this experience alot! If you're wondering if you should do it solo, GO FOR IT! I saw turtles, fish, ducklings, storks, labradors. It was beautiful out!

    best experience ever!

    Bring extra clothes and...

    Bring extra clothes and water shoes if you have them. There's an area where you can park your kayak and walk around in the water. It's absolutely for taking pictures.

    It’s a beautiful paddle...

    It’s a beautiful paddle and you must venture down Gissy Springs! The water is Crystal clear and shallow enough to get out and move around. Loved the wildlife, especially the turtles.🐢
