Alexander Springs: Guided Kayak Swim & Snorkel｜United States

Explore the emerald-blue waters of Alexander Springs on a guided, beginner-friendly adventure that combines paddling with time to swim and snorkel. Glide across crystal-clear spring water where you can often see underwater life like fish and turtles, and keep an eye out for Florida wildlife in the surrounding habitat—birds, otters, and more.

Start by meeting your guide at the designated location and arriving 30 minutes early to get ready and use the facilities. After a short safety briefing and full instruction for beginners, you’ll launch for a relaxed paddle paced for families and first-timers. Along the way, your guide shares tips on how to interact safely with local wildlife and helps you make the most of the scenery.

This 4-hour experience can include stops for photos, swimming, and snorkeling, depending on the group and conditions. Your guide will also take photos and video of your adventure, so you can focus on enjoying the water and the natural surroundings. Choose between a kayak, tandem kayak, or SUP and spend a half-day soaking up one of Florida’s most beautiful springs.
