Join us for a relaxing and educational kayaking adventure at Blue Springs State Park. Our guides, all University of Florida naturalists who are CPR certified, are passionate about sharing Florida’s wildlife and waterways with you. The tour is slow-paced, making it perfect for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.
Our kayaks feature integrated seat backs for added comfort and carbon fiber paddles that are lightweight and easy on your arms. Throughout the tour, our guides will take photos of your experience, so you can share your memories and cherish them forever.
For those interested in fishing, we also offer kayak fishing tours. Remember, you'll need to purchase a valid Florida fishing license—either a 3-day license for non-residents at $17 or an annual license for residents at the same price. No refunds or exceptions will be made if you arrive without your license, so plan ahead!
