Clear Kayak Tours in Weeki Wachee

Overview

Minutes from the famous Weeki Wachee Springs State Park mermaids see the river from a whole new perspective with this clear kayaking ecotour! Kayak through a quiet estuary where, fresh and salt water mix, before paddling up the very active and beautiful spring-fed waters of the river. Be on the lookout for wildlife like manatees, turtles, fish, birds and dolphins! A great adventure for beginner paddlers but we do paddle upstream for the first half of the tour, which is a workout and worth the drift paddle back to the launch site. Your guide will stop for pics along the away! Expect an adventure that is part wild and part urban as this iconic river is a popular one to enjoy living and recreating on! We stay in our kayaks for the duration of the tour. Please remember the river and wildlife is subject to daily changes in behavior and conditions. All kayaks are tandem. Weight limit of 250lbs per seat and 425lbs per kayak. One adult to one child is required unless otherwise arranged.

What an amazing area and ecosystem! The Weeki Wachi river is just beautiful. We had a clear day ☀️ to go kayaking 🛶 . Our guide Gary was fantastic. Wonderful storytelling about the history and nature of the area and kept us tight as a group going on the river.

We had a kayaking tour with Jessica today, at Weeki Wachee springs. We had such a brilliant time!!! The tour lasted about 2 hours once in the water and Jessica was such a fabulous guide! She took her time pointing out wildlife and telling us about different trees and plants; and took great care in making sure all kayakers, were travelling at a good speed, safely and under her wing. She also helped us to spot manatees!! We didn’t think we’d see any, at this time of the year, but we saw 5! It was pretty magical and she made sure they were not disturbed and that everyone could enjoy the moment. (She even took rubbish out of the spring!). An amazing guide, I highly recommend this tour to everyone, even first timer kayakers like us :) Thank you Jessica, from Reena from London xx
