Overview

With over 1000 springs, Florida boasts the largest concentration of freshwater springs in the world. It's been said that they are the best kept secret of the nation. This is your chance to explore them in a private group like a local would. Snorkel, paddle board, or hike your way around and through each unique spring - learning how different they are from each other and the critical role they play in the Florida ecosystem. Have a snack to break up the tour, or relax with a damp ice cold towel in the sun. Look and listen for wildlife. The clear waters of the springs are the perfect place to practice underwater photography. This tour is customisable, meaning you can request an emphasis on snorkelling, paddle boarding, or hiking from your guide - as well as underwater photos of your group! All guides who lead these tours are freediving instructors and professional conservationists. You'll learn a lot about the environment as well as some tips and tricks for safe and effective snorkelling.

Activity itinerary

Santa Fe River
  • 3h
The Santa Fe River has captivated the imagination of adventurers and explorers for generations. This 72 mile long river lies upon the skeletons of the ancient ocean floor, creating limestone rich karst topography, the perfect environment for the extensive underground river network of the Floridan aquifer to exit from the earth. This phenomenon creates the hundreds of beautiful freshwater springs that exist alongside and underneath this river system. Explore this river with a seasoned environmental conservation educator with a focused passion on the springs. Private tours include hiking, paddle boarding and snorkelling. High-quality gear and rental equipment, an emphasis on safety, and quality education will set this tour apart from others as a boutique experience. Get out of the office. Come discover Florida's best kept secrets alongside the people you care about the most.
