Great fun kayak trip - We have been coming to Panama City Beach for 14 years and looking for something new. It was a great experience. Easy reservation and check in process. Love that you can go at your own pace. You can choose to excite spring with a 1 mile or 4 mile boat trip. Was beautiful and would do again. When we were finished they were able to pick us up quickly. Very kind and friendly staff!

Cypress Spring Tour - I would highly recommend this experience. I thought the price seemed a bit steep but it was worth it. Zeke and Cass were both great. The river and spring were GORGEOUS! The sandwiches were yummy and they were both checking on us throughout our time at the spring to see if we needed anything. It was great!

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.

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.
