The Experience

What your day looks like

Our newest tour combines tubing on the crystal-clear waters of Rock Springs and a drive through a wildlife-renowned area for spotting Florida’s nature. It’s a great option for people looking to see the natural side of Florida and see something completely different from theme parks. Experience authentic Florida fun with a scenic nature drive and tubing on a freshwater spring, including round-trip transportation! Float the crystal-clear Rock Springs River at Kelly Park, with tubes provided and time to enjoy the swimming area and sandy beach. Spend the day discovering Florida’s natural side on a relaxing escape to Rock Springs. After a convenient hotel pickup, your small group (max. 13 passengers) will journey through the Apopka North Shore Wildlife Drive. This slow, scenic route winds between wetlands where native birds, turtles, and—often—Florida alligators can be spotted from the comfort of the vehicle. Before heading to the springs, we’ll make a stop to purchase lunch, snacks, and beverages to enjoy at Kelly Park. A reserved covered pavilion awaits your group—a perfect base to eat, relax, and gear up for the afternoon. Tubes and river floats are provided, so simply grab your tube and soak up the views. The crystal-clear Rock Springs run is a gentle 30-minute float through lush tropical foliage. A short walk leads you to the top of the springs, allowing you to enjoy the tubing run again and again at your own pace. Halfway along, you’ll find a spacious swimming area with a sandy shoreline—ideal for sunbathing, cooling off, and taking in the beauty of Florida’s natural springs. Whether you float once or spend the afternoon tubing on repeat, this is the perfect chill-day adventure.
