Rainbow Springs Guided Kayak/ Swim/ Snorkel Adventure
Overview
At KP Hole Park, step into one of Florida’s clearest spring-fed waterways & choose an adventure. The park sits directly on the Rainbow River & is an easy launch point.
Once on the water, the real magic begins. Paddling upriver, travelers reach Indian Creek in about 20 minutes. This narrow, shallow creek is only about 3 ft deep—feels like a hidden spring garden, with glass-clear water & bubbling springs- stop, float, & soak it all in. Continue another 40 minutes upriver to Rainbow River, where the scenery opens up to vibrant aqua-blue water, a large blue lagoon, & abundant wildlife. Along the way- spot fish, turtles, otters, & a variety of birds.
After exploring, there’s no rush to worry about—simply relax & drift back downstream to KP Hole Park, letting the gentle current do the work!

The only prerequisite is a healthy spirit of curiosity and adventure.
Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach. And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.
