About this tour

Escape the Destin shoreline for a day on the cool, clear waters of Cypress Springs. This 6-hour, 30-minute eco adventure takes you to a cave-fed natural spring where the water stays around 70°F year-round and visibility can exceed 100 feet.

Paddle upriver by kayak or stand-up paddleboard, then explore the spring above and below the surface with snorkeling equipment. An informative, fun guide helps you discover this distinctive ecosystem, while lunch, bottled water, towels, and beach chairs make it easy to settle in between activities. A GoPro is also provided to capture the experience. Cypress Springs offers a refreshing change of pace from the beach and a chance to see a quieter side of Northwest Florida. Book your Destin Cypress Springs Eco Adventure and spend the day exploring the spring at your own pace.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.48 from 42 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Destin
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.0.
