Rock Springs Run Clear-Bottom Kayak Adventure near Orlando - Photo Package Included

Paddle up the Emerald Cut
in a clear-bottom kayak

Board your clear-bottom kayak at King's Landing and paddle upstream with your guide along the Emerald Cut of Rock Springs Run. Follow the gentle current along the winding river beneath a canopy of trees until you reach the bridge at Kelly Park. The route covers about 2 miles (3.2 km) and suits all paddling levels from beginners to experts.

Take a break at a popular swimming spot

Along the way, your guide shows you a popular spot for a refreshing swim in the river. Wear your swimsuit so you can take a dip in the clear water.

Spot wildlife below and along the river

Look for native wildlife such as alligators, turtles, river otters, white-tailed deer, and black bears, as well as birds like egrets, herons, and bald eagles. Thanks to the transparent bottom, you can also see the underwater scenery beneath your kayak.

Drift back with the current

On the way back, relax as you float downstream. The current gently carries you back to the starting point.

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