Wonderful experience

Great for active adults!...
Great for active adults! We traveled with a teen and they loved it too. If you want to experience the springs when they are less crowded and easier to enjoy nature then plan on going earlier. It got busy quick later in the day. Our guide was awesome! Very kind, taught us about the area and made sure our party stuck together. I’m so glad we had this experience!

Don’t miss this one!!
We met Dave in the Publix parking lot in Destin. First time I’ve willingly gotten into a random van with a man I just met, but figured why not, we’re on vacation. The drive to the launching area took about an hour but it was a pleasant drive. The van was comfortable, Dave pointed out interesting things along the way (highest point in Florida was a sight to see for sure). We kayaked to cypress spring (maybe a 20-30 min trip) and to say it’s beautiful is an understatement. This is something you need to see. The water was … refreshing … some might even say it was cold, but you quickly get used to it. My daughters and husband all jumped off the platform and used the rope swing, my youngest even climbed to the very tip top of the tree and flung herself into the 70° water. We played and swam at this spot for two hours before continuing down the creek in our kayaks. The trip out of the area took about two hours of paddling, but we stopped periodically to get out and jump off other trees and cool off in the water. Overall we were gone about 7 hours, including the drive home. Lunch was Publix subs, they also had chips and drinks. They provided everything else that you’d want or need out there (bug spray, spf, goggles, snorkels, water scooter thing, towels, chairs). I know this was a long review, but I wanted to cover all the things I wasn’t sure about when I booked it. All that to say, this was probably the highlight of our trip. Would absolutely book again with Cold Water Excursions.

Family paddle to Paradise-like Spring!
Our guide met us on time at the meeting location. If it would be possible, to avoid confusion, I would suggest a posted sign stating “Coldwater Excursions Group meets here.” Dave, our guide, was phenomenal. Everyone agreed that it was a good idea that the sandwiches came from an actual grocery store as this assure their freshness and cleanliness. The drive out was easy in a well-maintained tour van with ample room and safety features. Arriving at our launch site, we were provided life jackets and directed to a stand of paddles to select from for our journey. As I was traveling with a child, we were provided a tandem kayak. My son is experienced in kayaking but if you are traveling with kids, I would suggest pairing up on a tandem as there is some upstream, against current paddling and navigating around fallen trees. There is a short journey to the spring, by kayak that immerses you into the gorgeous stream-side beauty of Florida woodlands. When we arrived at the spring, Dave directed us to the center of the spring where we refreshed ourselves; drinking directly from the spring. Ample time was provided to explore, swim and play on rope swings and trees. Dave provided goggles, snorkels and underwater scooters to enhance the experience. The water is shockingly cold but, as many other reviews explain, you do grow accustom to it and the temperature provides a welcome contrast to the heat. Lunch was enjoyed sitting around the spring. The guides might consider printing a hard copy of the lunch requests as a dead phone resulted in confusion as to who ordered what. After the main spring, we paddled almost two more hours downstream, enjoying more springs, wildlife and several more opportunities to jump into the water. We saw zero alligators which was fine for us northern parents who did not want to see any while traveling with our children. I saw no tracks or slides either. We were told that it might be possible but extremely unlikely given the water temperature is unpleasant for reptiles. We concluded at a pullout and were transported back to our vehicles with a quick stop to grab drinks and snacks if we desired. Nearly everyone found it worthwhile to provided Dave and his staff a tip for their excellent service. I served as a park ranger and naturalist guide for several years and found Dave’s service to be excellent. My final critique would be to consider bringing added cushion for your butt and back as the kayak seats are a bit worn. The company, alternately, might consider revamping the seat cushions. I would recommend this trip to anyone traveling that area. It was the highlight of our Florida vacation. Thanks Dave et al!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
All Inclusive Cypress Springs Eco Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Destin.
How much does All Inclusive Cypress Springs Eco Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $115 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Destin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does All Inclusive Cypress Springs Eco Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Destin is not rushed.
Is All Inclusive Cypress Springs Eco Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 42 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Destin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule All Inclusive Cypress Springs Eco Adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is All Inclusive Cypress Springs Eco Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book All Inclusive Cypress Springs Eco Adventure?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Destin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Destin and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does All Inclusive Cypress Springs Eco Adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Destin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Destin?
+
Destin sells time on the water: pontoon and catamaran charters out of the harbour, dolphin cruises through Choctawhatchee Bay, snorkel trips to Crab Island and deep-sea fishing that leaves before sunrise. On Outty we rank every Destin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Clear Kayaking Eco Adventure Tour in Marianna, Sunset Dolphin Cruise, Top Shelf Tikis Crab Island Adventure 3 hr. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Destin?
+
March to May and September to October, when Gulf water is warm and crowds thin. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Destin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
