My husband and I don't kayak, so our very first adventure into this sport. Excellent support by the guide, Jamie, and fellow kayakers. BEAUTIFUL scenery, enjoyable spending time in the water just swimming, snorkeling and hanging out. That day was more crowded than most, (Saturday), so suggest a weekday.

I booked this tour for 3/13/2024. I received a call on 3/11/2024 starting that it had rained really hard and the springs were flooded which made the water really murky and asked if Instill wanted to go, move to another date and/or location or if I wanted a refund. I requested refund due to our travel dates. I have made contact multiple times with tour company and been told the refund was issued but I have not received it yet after multiple attempts. Filing with the CC company now and will not use this company when we come back to PCB.

The description of this tour is very deceiving. You will not be kayaking the entire time. We kayaked to a very small spring that took less than 15 minutes, and the rest of the 5 hours we were expected to swim around this tiny area. We were beyond bored. My husband asked if we could take the kayaks out and paddle around and was denied.

Guide staff was great! Very helpful and engaging. The cypress springs is definitely a very beautiful experience to add to your family’s list of things to do!

We loved this adventure. It was fun to mix the kayaking with the time at the springs. We all loved the snorkeling, especially with the water scooters! We got in the car to head back to our hotel. My 12- and 17-year-olds both agreed this was their favorite adventure on this trip!

Swimming over the cave, seeing the fish, seeing the springs and using the scooter! This was a unique experience!

The cold springs is a really cool place to see. Kids enjoyed it - was very family friendly My son really enjoyed the rope swing

Absolutely amazing trip the spring was cold but BEAUTIFUL...underwater scootering should be on your bucket list bc it was incredible even swam in a school of fishes....swing on a rope swing and the guide built a fire and was very personable...overall one of the best things I've ever done in my life such a unquie experience.

It was a nice trip. It would have been better if we had known up front that we would be kayaking to the spring, snorkeling there, eating there and needing to carry everything we wanted to take with us on the kayak. We didn't know it would be helpful to have a dry bag.
The creek and the spring had a lot of fallen trees that had to be navigated around. I'm surprised that no one cleared them.
The outfitter had chairs, towels and even battery operated under water scooters. The water at the springs is 68 degrees year round. There was a rope swing. It was nice with only a few groups of people there this time of year. I would think it would be way too crowded to enjoy in the summer.
