What To Expect

You will meet with your guide and then embark on an eco-paddling adventure in our 100% clear tandem kayaks! Your guide will help you capture those candid moments and educate you about the wildlife and springs along the way. The clear bottom of your kayak will reveal the spring-fed river bed, showing you a variety of fish species, crawfish, and you might even see a beaver swim by! You will also get the opportunity to take a dip in the refreshing spring water. You don’t want to pass up this great family, or date adventure!

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
