Rock Springs Run Emerald Cut Kayak Adventure near Orlando - 2-Hour Guided Tour

Paddle up the emerald waters
of Rock Springs Run

Board your kayak at the launch point and paddle upstream with your guide along the Emerald Cut of Rock Springs Run. Follow the winding river beneath a canopy of trees until you reach the bridge at Kelly Park. Depending on your option, you use a single or double kayak, and the tour suits all paddling levels from beginners to experts.

Take a break at a clear spring swimming spot

Along the way, your guide shows you a popular spot where you can take a refreshing dip in the emerald water. Wear your swimsuit so you can cool off in the clear, refreshing water.

Look for wildlife in the jungle-like forest

Alligators, turtles, river otters, white-tailed deer, and black bears are frequently seen in this area. You may also spot a variety of birds such as egrets, herons, and bald eagles.

Drift back to the starting point

The return trip is downstream, so you can relax and let the current carry you back to the launch point. The whole tour takes about 2 hours.

※ Wildlife lives in its natural habitat, so sightings are not guaranteed.
※ During the rainy season (August and September), natural tannins can turn the water from clear blue to a reddish tea color.
