Had a great trip.We did the early morning trip. Easy paddling to the spring which is just one amazing gift of nature. Big ,beautiful ,crystal blue and icy cold. We had plenty of time to swim , snorkel and explore this giant aqua vent. The guides were polite, well prepared and they had all the gear and goodies we needed to have an enjoyable time . They also shared what they knew about the spring and its environment. I'm 59 and my daughter and boyfriend are 21 and we all had no problems and had a great time .If you love the outdoors and things of natural beauty I think you would enjoy this tour.

Everything is covered here, down to the towels and sunscreen. They do a great job all the way around. Pick up was right on time. Team was friendly and professional, equipment is all in great shape, and they think of every little detail so you don't have to. We had a great time and it is a good break from the beach and pool!

As a young couple, when I go to the beach the main thing I plan to do is sit on the beach for a few hours and go shopping, if you’re in PCB you need to do Coldwater Excursions, we met Taylor at 8 a.m. and headed for the springs, we arrived before 9 and got on our kayaks and headed for the cold water, during this 20 minutes of paddling to the main springs, Taylor educated us on the interesting things we were passing, like the old cypress trees, and why some of the trees were knocked down, when we got to the main part he took out picture and then found two turtles, a crawfish, meanwhile the other guide was holding a dragon fly and was putting it on the kids fingers for them to hold, after a while of hanging out and adventuring we decided to kayak around the springs a little bit just to check everything out, Taylor was fine with this and checked in on us to make sure we were fine, we came back after an hour and enjoyed the cold water. Me and my girlfriend have never paddle boarded but Taylor and our other guide taught us how, they provided everything from food, drinks, towels, chairs, and sunscreen to frisbees, goggles and snorkels, and pictures, and made sure everyone was happy. We got back and still had more than enough time to go to our place get a bunch of stuff and then go to the beach for a little bit. If you are in PCB this is a experience everyone should do.
