Meeting Point & Equipment
- Park at KP Hole County Park and meet us at the boat ramp boardwalk—we’ll be there with all the necessary equipment.
- Each kayak and paddleboard includes a life vest and safety whistle.
What to Bring
- Water & a light snack (no heavy coolers or excess ice to avoid weighing down the boat).
- Reusable bottles & containers. Anything that can be trash is not permitted on the river to help keep the river clean.
- Sun protection: Wear a long-sleeve rash guard, hat/visor, boat pants, and bring a towel to dry off. Sunscreen is not recommended as it tends to wash off with water and sweat, leaving you vulnerable to the harsh Florida sun. Also, sunscreen is bad for the environment, killing the coral reefs. If you must wear sunscreen, please make sure it is environmentally safe and reapply often.
The Adventure
- Paddle upriver against a light 2-3 mph current, while seeing wildlife in their natural habitat and scenic spots along the way.
- When you reach the Headspring, drift downriver while snorkeling, exploring caves, and discovering 30-foot freedive spots. Expect to see birds, turtles, fish, and even river otters!
- The adventure lasts 2.5 to 3 hours, but we recommend allowing extra time to truly soak in the experience.
At Rainbow River, we believe in a stress-free time on the water—no need to rush, just relax and enjoy the magic of this breathtaking place.
