This was one of the most amazing experiences with an exceptional guide. She knew everything and shared all the wonderful things there. This experience of clear water is exceptional too. I would recommend this to anyone. You won't be disappointed!

I had the best time clear bottom kayaking! Josh was an AMAZING tour guide. He had so many fun facts for our group and made sure everyone was having a good time. We saw so many beautiful parts of the springs that we never would have found if we did this alone! I would recommend this excursion to anyone vacationing in Florida.
