Experience one of Florida’s most breathtaking natural treasures on a guided paddleboard or kayak adventure to Cypress Springs. This eco-friendly tour combines light adventure, relaxation, and stunning scenery in a peaceful spring-fed environment.
Your journey begins at a designated meeting point, where you’ll check in and meet your guide before taking a comfortable shuttle ride to Cotton Landing on Holmes Creek. After a short safety briefing and paddling orientation, you’ll launch onto calm, clear waters and begin an easy half-mile paddle upstream through a scenic, tree-lined waterway.
As you glide along Holmes Creek, keep an eye out for local wildlife and enjoy the quiet beauty of Florida’s untouched landscapes. The slow current and gentle pace make this trip suitable for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. Soon, the water shifts from dark creek tones to brilliant shades of turquoise and emerald as you arrive at the stunning Cypress Springs.
Here, you’ll have 2 to 3 hours to relax and enjoy the spring at your own pace. Swim in the refreshing 64-degree crystal-clear water, snorkel to explore underwater features, or simply float and soak in the peaceful surroundings. You can also enjoy lunch in this serene natural setting, making the experience feel like a hidden paradise getaway.
Cypress Springs is known for its incredible visibility and vibrant colours, offering a true Florida eco-adventure away from crowded beaches and busy attractions. The calm environment makes it perfect for photos, relaxing with friends or family, and reconnecting with nature.
When it’s time to leave, you’ll hop back on your paddleboard or kayak for a gentle downstream return paddle. The current does most of the work, allowing you to sit back, enjoy the scenery, and reflect on your springtime adventure.
