The 8 mile trip was A-mazing! The Santa Fe river was clear and the springs were crystal clear. I saw deer, many birds and turtles, and tons of fish . AOA answered all my questions, gave me great tips on the springs and was very courteous. I will definitely come back here anytime I visit the area. Pro tip: bring water, snacks, sunscreen , water shoes and a mask/snorkel. I had the absolute best time stopping and snorkeling in the various springs. Highly recommend!
