We had a lot of fun on our kayaking tour and would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about Winter Park or see the gorgeous homes along the lake. The water isn't clear so, while the clear kayaks are fun and different, you won't get to see much below you. Might be worth checking out one of the other locations to fully take advantage of the see-through bottom. We did manage to see plenty of birds and were told sometimes people get to see otters. read more

A First for everything, tried kayaking for the first time under the guidance of Jeremy at Get Up And Go Kayaking. From booking the tour to the actual experience was perfection and a well needed escape. Jeremy was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the eco system at Gilchrist blue and the habitats. He helps you get in and out of your Kayak and free use of dry bags if need be! The icing on the kayak was how good he can maneuver to take the best pictures for your memories. All in all I will use Get up and go kayaking again, of which they do different locations! read more

What an awesome time!!! This was a celebration excursion for my mom, sister and myself who were celebrating October birthdays. The hubby came with too. The clear kayaks made you feel closer to and apart of the water. It was cool to experience going through some of the canals on the Chain of Lakes, which I have never experienced. The multimillion-dollar homes that are on the water are inspirational as much as they are beautiful. Our guide was excellent and had some interesting facts about the homes, nature, and history. To be on the lake at sunset was breathtaking and relaxing. If I wasn't on a tour I would just lay back and chill looking up at the sky. Great for visitors and locals. My family, who were visiting, loved it. Highly recommend. read more

Megan was such a wonderful tour Gide at Rock Springs Clear Kayak Tour!! She made our experience one we will never forget and be very grateful for. The atmosphere was breathtaking, the clear kayak is the only way to go. Megan's upbeat and energetic attitude made this tour even more enjoyable. We are so thankful for her. Megan was very knowledgeable about the wildlife we encountered and the surrounding nature. She even took the time to take multiple photos of us throughout our excursion. read more

This was by far the most fun we have had kayaking. Keith was incredible! The lakes were beautiful. The canals were so awesome. And the houses. Woah. They were beautiful but what made it worth it is Keith giving us so much history and even present day info. The history is so so interesting! We would definitely make this a must do on every visit to Orlando. Our kids would enjoy this so much. We did the sunset kayak tour. We were considering the glow one but decided we wanted a good view of the beautiful tropical plants and trees and then the homes. Maybe next time since we have seen it before! There was another option at another location for a bioluminescence tour but the moon has to be a certain way for it to be a good turn out and that wasn't the night for us. Bottom line is if you are looking for something outside of the obvious choices like Disney and Universal and the whale then stop looking and book a tour. It was amazing. I'm sad we couldn't keep going to enjoy it again and again this trip. read more

Had an amazing experience even though it lasted 10 minutes due to tropical storm coming through. Keith our tour guide was very friendly and was worried about safety and prioritized it. He saved our boat and literally got out of his boat swam in crock infested waters during a monsoon storm .highly recommend Jk but did save our about cus winds were no joke .thanks Keith read more

Im giving this 5 stars because it's truly an amazing place! If you've you've been on Jungle Cruise at Disneyland (CA), there are sections that remind me of it...but REAL! The race to the end is NOT easy but it's worth it! MEGAN our guide was wonderful! Super friendly, cheerful and encouraging! Now...I was told (not by Megan) that the first 20-30 minutes were rough because it was upstream, but that's not the case! The ENTIRE way UP is very challenging! Very! So, if you're not in decent shape, forget it, you won't make it. It took us close to 2 hours to "make it to the blue" and a couple of people in my party wanted to give up. It was also rough for my 11 year old daughter. At one point, she and I got OFF the Kayak, pulled it but wouldn't advance due to the strength I'd the current, no joke! There are deep pockets so it got a bit scary for a minute . We did NOT see animals and the sand was nice and smooth. The water was crystal clear. There was a lot of traffic and kayaks kept bumping into each other but that's the nature of the beast. Aside from it all, it was an amazing experience and do-able. Do I regret it? Absolutely NOT! I'm very happy I got to the end and you should, too! Life is short. Go for it! read more

Such an amazing experience on the Glow-In-The-Dark Kayaking tour last night. Carlynn was a great guide. She was so friendly and passionate about the area, homes, and wildlife. The tour started in Lake Virginia right near Rollins College, then went to Lake Osceola, followed by Lake Maitland. It was a beautiful time to kayak as there were nearly no boats on the water. Between each lake you go through beautiful canals It was about a 5mi trip but was very easy to do. Highly recommend for a fun date night! read more

I had an absolute blast with this tour guide! He was so friendly and awesome to be around! Going up and down the river in clear bottom kayaks was also a blast since you could see all the wildlife floating beneath you. Additionally if you have some extra items that you don't want to get wet he'll lock them up in the trailer for you till you get back. read more

Such an amazing experience!! I was a bit anxious about going out into the wildlife refuge at night but our tour guides made me very comfortable. Matt was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was patient and proved excellent direction of using the kayaks. So cool being in clear kayaks!! you could see things swimming under you and the bioluminescent lights!!

We had a great time kayaking. Brittany was our guide. Super patient with us even though we ran into bushes many times. We saw a turtle, an otter, ibis and egret. Beautiful place. read more

So glad we came across this activity! My husband kept thanking me throughout the entirety of the kayak ride. We did luck out with cloud cover, so the moon was not interrupting our experience at all! So I think it is key (if possible) to schedule on an evening with no moon. I would recommend this to everyone! We brought our 2 teenage kids with us and it was a big hit. We were super worried about the mosquitos, but it appears the extra doses of bug spray did the job. We sprayed at 8pm and then again at 8:30pm for the 9pm ride. And we wore long sleeves and pants as recommended on their website. Our guides were perfect too (I think their names were Scott and a Kim). read more
