This tour begins and ends at Seven Sisters Campground located on a canal just off the main river. We’ll paddle to Seven Sisters Springs, where the natural underwater limestone creates several small cave tunnels that connect to each other, making it possible to dive from one opening to the next! Then, paddle downstream to Baird Creek, a winding stream that is only accessible by small paddle crafts and is like a scene from Jurassic Park!

I thoroughly enjoyed an engaging tour of the beautiful Chaz river with Ryan C! His knowledge of the area was impressive, and the passion for his work really stood out. He met the group's pace on the water and gave clear guidance on our route for the day. I never felt rushed, and had plenty of time to observe Manatee Cove and snorkel in the Crack! There were so many turtles and fish clearly visible in the clear water. The highlight of the day was finding a baby alligator lounging on a log. I hope to revisit this area soon!

we enjoyed the trip very much, the guide Ryan C. was very professional. He told us a lot about the surrounding nature and wildlife. He knows the area very well, so we were able to see manatees, alligator and swim in the beautiful springs.

this tour was the most impressive of our Florida trip. We are extremely grateful to our guide Ryan C., who showed us the manatee, the alligator habitat, and answered all our questions. Thanks to him for an unforgettable trip.

My friends and I did this tour and it was amazing! Izzy was an awesome guide and so patient with us as we got up the courage to swim through the underwater caves. We just couldn’t bring ourselves to leave that area until we had all completed that once-in-a-lifetime experience! We would definitely recommend this tour! We saw manatees, otters, and lots of neat birds. Some of us weren’t experienced with kayaking and we still had a great time. Izzy also took pictures and videos for us. So cool!

The views were really nice, the spring wasn’t too difficult to navigate. We had the chance to see plenty of manatees and swim in the springs. Our guide Ryan C. was very knowledgeable and gave us the freedom to take our time and explore. Would absolutely recommend Ryan to anyone visiting the area!

Absolutely beautiful! Got to see manatees, a baby alligator and several species of fish and birds. Our guide Ryan was knowledgeable about the area and made sure that all of us had a great time. We went on several excursions while visiting here but this was hands down my favorite!

We didn't kayak. My son was sick so we couldn't go. The get up and go declined a refund even though we bought the insurance stating we had to give 12 hours notice. Well -he wasnt sick until that morning. They did not offer anything like a rescedule. Disappointed. We won't ever book a trip with them again.
