The clear waters of the springs are the perfect place to practice underwater photography. This tour is customizable, meaning you can request an emphasis on snorkeling, paddle boarding, or hiking from your guide - as well as underwater photos of your group!

Santa Fe River

Florida

The Santa Fe River has captivated the imagination of adventurers and explorers for generations. This 72 mile long river lies upon the skeletons of the ancient ocean floor, creating limestone rich karst topography, the perfect environment for the extensive underground river network of the Floridan aquifer to exit from the earth. This phenomenon creates the hundreds of beautiful freshwater springs that exist alongside and underneath this river system.
Explore this river with a seasoned environmental conservation educator with a focused passion on the springs. Private tours include hiking, paddle boarding and snorkeling. High-quality gear and rental equipment, an emphasis on safety, and quality education will set this tour apart from others as a boutique experience.
