5.00We had a great time kayaking rainbow springs. Our guide Andres was very knowledgeable and pointed out all the animals and caves in the springs. The kayaking was easy and we loved getting to bring our dog. It was a beautiful day and the water was refreshing and clear. Will definitely do this again.

1.00We never made it to Rainbow Springs. We were staying near Kissimmee and had a two drive ahead of us each way. Much to far for our party of seven ages 7 to 70. We talked to the staff and told them we didn’t realize it was so far and we weren’t coming.She understood and said would try to do something and call back. No call back. My bad for not checking location, Trip Advisor was rating attractions near Orlando and we took the nibble. We went to Gatorland instead, I’d give it a 5 star rating, once you’ve inside you don’t want to leave 😊

5.00Andres was a wonderful guide on an unforgettable experience for our family! Our kids, 3 and 6, loved helping to "paddle" on each of their parents' boats and the trek up the tributary from the main river was incredible for all of us. Easy to coordinate and a perfect duration. Highly recommend for anyone!!

5.00The kayaks are tandem…we missed that so were very surprised when we arrived. The kayaks seats are not rear friendly. Two hours was long enough. Andy, our guide took great care of us and was very informative. The scenery and nature was beautiful. We saw eagles, turtles, alligators, ducks, a variety of birds and many underwater caves and springs.
Very nice tour, the place is very quiet and the kayaking ideal for the family.

5.00Recommended, a super bread for those who come to Orlando. Guide Ronnie has a lot of patience and good stories to tell about these springs.
Nice Time on the Rainbow River

5.00Everything was exactly as it was described. You put in at KP Hole and then paddle upstream for a little bit to check out a spring fed creek that feeds into the river, which was super cool. Then you continue on upstream, checking out some spots where the springs come up directly under the river. Then you get to a point where you turn around and mostly float back the beginning. Our arms were pretty tired after we got done! We saw ducks and herons on our trip. Our guide was Gabe and he did a great job of explaining everything and giving us some background on the spring fed ecosystem of Florida.

5.0010/10 recommend! It’s a very chill kayaking trip. The scenery is beautiful. The water is clear. We saw otters, birds, fish, and turtles. Andres knew quite a bit about the area and the animals. If you’re in the area, this is a must do!
