Panama City Beach Cypress Spring Eco Tour

Trade the beach crowds for the cool, clear waters of Cypress Spring, where a guided paddle through a wooded Florida landscape leads to a refreshing natural swimming spot. This Cypress Spring eco tour pairs easygoing exploration with time to snorkel, relax, and look for local wildlife.

Meet your guide and travel to the spring, then paddle along Holmes Creek by kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard. At the water’s edge, settle into a beach chair or slip in with the provided mask and snorkel. A SeaDoo underwater scooter offers another way to explore below the surface, where fish and turtles may appear in the clear water. Lunch, drinks, towels, and sunscreen help make the outing comfortable, while the surrounding woods bring birdsong to the route.

The spring stays around 70 degrees year-round, with visibility that can exceed 100 feet. Cypress Spring’s shallow shoreline gradually deepens toward the center, reaching about 23 feet. Transportation to and from the spring is provided, though the ride from the beach takes about 45 minutes each way. Choose your watercraft and sandwich preference when booking, then set aside a day to experience Panama City Beach’s quieter, wilder side on a Cypress Spring eco tour.
