Perfect day - Guides Braxton and Hayley took really good care of us and had everything we needed. The kayaking was calm and peaceful and the swimming hole at the spring was amazing. Just incredible, do not miss this!

Such a Unique Experience - This excursion was an adventure and such a unique experience. I loved it so much. The weather had not been cooperating and we were rescheduled but the morning we went was perfect. Hot... but the water was so cold. The girls in the group had a hard time hanging. Our guides were a great group of young guys. Definitely would do it again!

Highly recommended - This was a really fun trip. Our guides were super and very attentive. I was worried about heat and bugs; neither bothered me al all. The blue hole was just incredible. We went on the 8am tour so conditions were just right. It was getting crowded when we left. A perfect day.

Spectacular site and you will appreciate the emerald green in its glory - It is a natural phenomenon, stunning colors, enjoyment for everyone, recommended for the family in general, you can go alone or hire the services of the friend who here offers the services to take us, it is courteous, we were provided with a small lunch, snack, towels, sunscreen, chairs, tent, canoes, snorkel masks, and an appliance to go fast on the water, you need nothing more to go, only your camera to perpetuate your visit, in the depth of the water, where the water flows, there is like a stone tunnel that I saw someone dive and go through it, obvious because I saw it leaving the other hand, it is risky but to which you know and can do it, I will return to this place, I am caught on it, also there are ropes to garnish like tarzan and fall in the water , its emerald green colors dazzle, also another phenomenon is appreciated that is the union of two waters of different tributaries of green and brown color that do not join, appreciating this phenomenon, besides the path in rowing to the site that is truly spectacular (remember to indicate what type of canoe will require, single, double)

Save your money and do this one on your own. - Our guides were courteous. This is over priced by $50 to $75 per person. Kayak about 30 minutes total; snorkel, swim and rope or jump into water the rest of the time. The self propelled snorkel equipment not best option for this environment, so we didn’t use it. They did sit up chairs and had towels, protective phone holders, sunscreen, water and Gatorade. Equipment was well used but worked. Picnic is a dry 6” sub from Publix. Cypress Springs is in poor condition both in and out of the water, dangers lurk. Fallen trees and branches. The water is fresh spring water and crystal clean, so cold not much to look at in the water. The banks of the Springs is not easy to navigate and gets over crowded. One bank has a huge culvert then extends a makeshift wall to hold water runoff from the Springs water. The rest has tree roots with some sand areas. A sandy trail through over grown weeds. Port-a-potties and trash binds down a driving trail 1/2 block away. People kayak, paddle board and boat through the center of the Springs while people are jumping in and snorkeling. Because of the people jumping in you do not get to explore the core of the Springs. Watch out for yourself. I think you can get there on your own and spend a lot less for the adventure. Go to Vernon and rent the equipment yourself.

No refund for cancellation - I was really excited to take this tour. The tour was cancelled by the company due to high water. We were never refunded our $240.00. They told me it was because I had booked through Travelocity- Travelocity said it was because the company does not change or refund for cancellations.
