Are there any container rules for what you bring?

Yes. Bring everything in reusable containers—no plastic.

What rules apply to late arrivals and late equipment returns?

If you arrive late, your rental time starts at your scheduled reservation time, so it will cut into your time on the water. If you return equipment late, you will be charged a late return fee ($15 for every 15 minutes past your scheduled return time).

Review summary

5.0

Excellent

254 reviewsGoogle Maps

Sara is the heart of this operation, and reviewer after reviewer makes that clear. She handles everything from booking to launch with genuine care, offers route advice to work with the currents, and even sticks around to chat and share photos afterward. Her clear kayaks get consistent praise for being cleaner and better maintained than competitors, which matters a lot when you're trying to see what's beneath the water. The wildlife encounters here are genuinely impressive. Reviewers mention manatees, otters, turtles, eagles, alligators, monkeys, and nesting birds, across multiple springs including the Rainbow River. The crystal-clear kayaks make spotting all of it that much better. Pricing also comes up as a pleasant surprise compared to other local outfitters. If you're planning a Florida springs kayaking trip, the reviews paint a pretty consistent picture: excellent gear, attentive personal service, and memorable time on the water. There's nothing in the feedback that raises any real concerns, just a lot of happy paddlers saying they'd come back.

What people are saying

I had an incredible experience renting a clear kayak from Sara at Florida Springs Kayaking! Knows the water and the area. Sara is absolutely wonderful—she is a one-woman show who is so sweet, accommodating, and made me feel completely safe and comfortable from the moment I arrived. She was extremely friendly throughout the entire day and shared so many neat, interesting facts about the local area and the wildlife. She even guided me to a beautiful, quiet spot to stop off and swim, which was a perfect way to enjoy that part of the springs! As for the gear, her kayaks are top-notch and truly crystal clear. It was a completely surreal experience; when you're out on the water, you can’t even tell the kayak is there—it feels like you’re just floating right on top of the spring. If you are looking to explore Central Florida’s springs, I cannot recommend booking with Sara enough. I will definitely be back!
