Learn about the rich history of the Santa Fe River, which boasts over 36 named springs that contribute to its waters. During certain times of the year, the river itself can run clear, displaying a see-through sweet tea or amber-brown color. Our experienced guides provide fascinating information about each spring and the surrounding ecosystem as you paddle around Rum Island and the Santa Fe River.

Another great paddle with Jeremy! He does a great job telling you about the area and the history of the springs. He goes at your pace and really gives you time to stop and appreciate the beauty of the natural springs. We had a wonderful time!

I forgot the the girls name but she was great!!! I just want to start by saying that This is no way to bash her, but this “2 hr” tour was not worth the $188 I had to pay. We were never further than 5 mins from the starting point. We went in one direction saw two really small springs which were cool but nothing to out of the world. And then the last spring which was really cool ended up being just a small public spring you could get into for free. SMH I would only pay $30 per person max for this. Way way way overpriced!!!! This was absurd.
