I did the two-day 26 mile kayak trip. The river and springs were amazing, but day two after Blue Springs ( I won’t even mention Ginny Springs no way). But Blue Springs was amazing and there is a little branch there that gives plenty of serenity. Met Jill there and wish I’d have got her contact info. After passing the crazy and unattractive Ginny Springs due to the age difference, I found a sweet little camping spot. Set up my hammock and settled down. Mosquitos. all zipped up at dusk. Once daylight came again, it was such a nice two hours before I set off on day two. Got a bath, packed up, and settled in for the tough 5.5 hour trip to the pick up point. The river gets wide and the current slows. I got a good workout. Outpost showed up ten minutes early for the 30-min ride back to my car. Everyone here was very nice, but the equipment not do much. The kayak was old and not maintained. The foot rests would have been nice on day two the paddle was too short for the two-person kayak. Felt a bit overcharged and disappointed due to the equipment conditions, but the trip was fantastic. $125 total paid.

Location is great. We've used these guys for rentals on several occasions until we bought our own kayaks. Now we use them for vehicle shuttles which works out great. They're not the cheapest in town but the service is excellent and well worth it.

Worst experience with rented canoe from this place. There is No or zero quality control on the boat that are rented out. Our boat had a hole and water was filling up fast. We were in the middle of the Santa Fe river called them for help. But they told us to fix the hole our self. Finally fixed it our self with a chocolate rapper and got back on the river. Worst of all these people were not even sorry. The pickup guy told us having a hole in the boat is like having flat tire. Like nothing out of ordinary had happened. Did not even gave us a refund. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Beautiful spot! You will see turtles, egrets, occassional gator, ibises, and lots of natural cold springs to swim in. Be sure to make reservations in advance because they don't always answer the phone nor are they always there during business hours. Very friendly and helpful.

We had a really great time canoeing the Santa Fe with these folks. We showed up in the morning, paid for our canoe and put in just about 150 yards from where we paid. We took our time on the river and had to call for a later pickup, it was no problem and they arrived promptly at the specified time to pick us up, which is important after sitting in a canoe in the sun all day. Thanks for a great time!

Fantastic trip. 5 hr on the water paddling at a moderate pace to go 7 miles. Water level is a little low at the moment, had to get out and walk the canoe once, and low flow slows you down in general. Beautiful springs empty into the river at several places. Lots of wildlife. Wonderful day with picnic at Lilly Springs. We will be back.

I've kayaked the Sante Fe worth these guys a few times. Prices are fair and doable. They are helpful, accommodating, friendly, and very nice people. There are several pickups to choose from so you can plan your trip for exactly how much time you have. It doesn't hurt that they are located on one of the most beautiful rivers I've ever seen. TONS of wildlife and amazing scenery.
They have full moon kayak trips, too!response / report this review
