Itinerary
This private tour takes you through some of Florida’s most beautiful spring-fed waters, with stops at Rainbow Springs and Indian Creek, offering opportunities for snorkeling, wildlife viewing, and relaxing in pristine nature.
-
Stop 1: Rainbow Springs
Explore Florida's fourth-largest spring system, known for its crystal-clear water and abundant wildlife. This spring system pumps out 400-600 million gallons daily, with water rising from dozens of vents, creating a glass-like surface. Historically a popular roadside attraction, it now serves as a protected state park. Keep an eye out for turtles, otters, and fish thriving in the steady 72-degree water.
-
Stop 2: Indian Creek
Discover one of the Rainbow River's best-kept secrets—a shallow, clear creek where you can wade or snorkel beneath shaded cypress and live oak trees. The creek winds toward Gissy Spring, another vent feeding the river system. The water remains a refreshing 72 degrees year-round, perfect for spotting fish and experiencing the river as early Floridians did.
