Nice Time on the Rainbow River
Mitch M,Feb 25, 2026
- Review from Viator
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.
10/10

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!

5.00We arrived 30 mins late due to some personal problems, I thought they might turn us away... The guide still came to meet us, perhaps a shorter tour but I enjoyed every second seeing the caves in crystal clear water through the bottom of the boat & the wildlife. He was super patient, knowledgeable - 5 stars from your British friends with the dogs. Thanks once again!
Awesome and amazing tour
