Rock Springs 2-Hour Glass Bottom Guided Kayak Eco Tour - The upstream paddle takes work

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,459 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $115Top choice

Paddle the Emerald Cut at Rock Springs Run in a clear tandem kayak, following a local guide upstream beneath a tree canopy. You’ll get basic paddling instruction, wildlife and waterway commentary, and a chance to swim or use a rope swing before returning to the launch. Guides including Jacob, Megan, Dani and David have been praised for their friendly, engaging approach.

“David, our tour guide, was absolutely brilliant—so knowledgeable, experienced, and incredibly friendly. We were a mixed group with varying levels of kayaking experience, and he made sure to check in with each family individually throughout the trip. He offered guidance and support, especially since some of us progressed through the water more quickly than others. David also gave us plenty of time to relax, explore at our own pace, and truly enjoy being out on the water. The crystal-clear water and beautiful surroundings were stunning on their own, but the real highlights were spotting a couple of raccoons and even a baby alligator—such a bonus! This was an unforgettable adventure…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 12 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $120

Instructors have included Brian, Frankie, and Liana.

“Frankie’s service is great. He has multiple instructors, one of which will be assigned to you. Brian took me under his wing and was my instructor for 3 days. This was my second time surfing and I feel much more confident with the board. I went from laying to getting up into the standing position to popping up from the laying position into a standing position on the board. The second method makes for a smoother transition. He also taught me a little bit about reading the ocean and some preemptive safety measures while surfing Florida beaches. Overall great lesson. Highly recommended! Ask for Brian!!”
