What To Expect
You will meet with your guide and then embark on an eco-paddling adventure in our 100% clear tandem kayaks! Your guide will help you capture those candid moments and educate you about the wildlife and springs along the way. The lights in the bottom of your kayak will illuminate the spring-fed river bed, revealing a variety of fish species, crawfish, and you might even see a beaver swim by! You will also get the opportunity to take a dip in the refreshing spring water. You don’t want to pass up this great family, or date night adventure!
