    The guides here really make the experience special. Names like Andres, Angel, and Sara come up repeatedly, with reviewers praising their knowledge of the local wildlife and springs, friendly personalities, and knack for capturing great photos. They seem genuinely invested in making sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, even helping nervous first-timers and dealing patiently with tricky situations like reluctant dogs or rainy weather. Rainbow Springs itself is stunning. The crystal-clear water is the main attraction, and many guests rave about the clear-bottom kayaks that let you see fish and underwater springs bubbling up from below. Wildlife sightings are common, from otters and diverse bird species to the occasional bald eagle. Small group sizes keep things relaxed and personal. One helpful tip from experienced reviewers: go early in the morning for cooler weather and fewer crowds. The occasional equipment hiccup happens, but the staff handles issues professionally with quick refunds when needed.

    We had a wonderful experience and an incredible guide- Andres. We live in Orlando and wanted to do the kayaking first thing in the morning so that the weather would be cool. We stayed at the equestrian world hotel, which was an amazing choice and only 20 minutes away from the kayaking. We kayaked at 9 AM on a Sunday in October. The weather was perfect and very few people were around. There was only one other kayak in our tour. Our guide was super attentive and made sure that we were safe and comfortable and enjoying ourselves for the entire trip. We saw many otters, many wild birds and a bald eagle. I highly recommend the clear bottom kayaks, we were able to see many fish and the water coming up from the springs underneath us, which was amazing.
