Full description
Spend the day discovering Florida’s natural side on a relaxing escape to Rock Springs. After convenient hotel pickup, 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, 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, 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.

We enjoyed it but the boat ride took up too much time so in retrospect we would have just visited the Space Centre as we really enjoyed this and were disappointed to have to leave so early.

It was an entertaining experience to Clearwater beach with Adam Rubman. He was way before time, took care of everyone, gave much needed information and trust me you won’t get bored on your Journey. Would definitely recommend tour with him and Gray line tours!
