Description

Paddle through one of Florida's most scenic spring-fed waterways on this two-hour Rock Springs kayaking tour. Launching from Kings Landing in Apopka, this small-group experience takes you on a moderate upstream paddle through the well-known Emerald Cut, followed by an easy drift back to the launch point. Along the way, your guide shares insights about the local ecosystem and the area's conservation efforts.

The clear kayak offers excellent visibility into the spring water below, making it easy to spot fish, turtles, birds, and other wildlife. You may also catch glimpses of otters, deer, or small gators from a safe distance. The calm, shallow water and lush surroundings create a peaceful, scenic paddle.

Several stops along the route give you a chance to rest, take photos, and enjoy the scenery. There are deeper sections—typically 4 to 6 feet—where you can take a swim in the refreshing 68 to 70-degree water.

This Rock Springs Run clear kayak tour is suited to all skill levels, including beginners and families. It's a great way to experience Central Florida's natural beauty just a short drive from Orlando.

Had so much fun! Try to get a tour with Megan she was an amazing guide. She knows how to make first time kayakers feel at ease. She is knowledgeable about the Wildlife, pointing out different birds along the way, as well as general knowledge for the region. She has an awesome spirit and makes the tour so fun. She took the best pictures for insta too!!

"A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!"

Reviewed February 28, 2026

What a great adventure, and I can think of no better way to explore this beautiful water than from the seat of a clear-bottomed kayak! I've kayaked in the past, but my wife had not...and she was understandably a little unsure about the whole idea. But our guide Jacob was OUTSTANDING and make the entire adventure one that we will never forget! He was encouraging, knowledgeable, patient, and professional too -- exactly the kind of guide you hope that you'll get. If I could give this experience more than five stars, I absolutely would -- and thanks to this great experience, my wife is now saying that she's ready to go kayaking again. Thank you, Jacob and Get Up and Go! This was a highlight of our trip!
