Overview

With over 1000 springs, Florida boasts the largest concentration of freshwater springs in the world. It's been said that they are the best kept secret of the nation. This is your chance to explore them in a private group like a local would. Snorkel, paddle board, or hike your way around and through each unique spring - learning how different they are from each other and the critical role they play in the Florida ecosystem. Have a snack to break up the tour, or relax with a damp ice cold towel in the sun. Look and listen for wildlife. The clear waters of the springs are the perfect place to practice underwater photography. This tour is customizable, meaning you can request an emphasis on snorkeling, paddle boarding, or hiking from your guide - as well as underwater photos of your group! All guides who lead these tours are freediving instructors and professional conservationists. You'll learn a lot about the environment as well as some tips and tricks for safe and effective snorkeling.
