This place is just an absolute gem. Whoever complained the water is not "that blue", didn't paddle the Emerald Cut part or went after a storm. Absolutely breathtaking. I went by myself and joined a guided group. It was a very slow pace, paddling upstream and enjoying drifting back with plenty of stops on the way and back to take lots of pictures. Our guide was super friendly and gave fun stories about the area. 100% would come back next time I am in Orlando. They also gave me great tips to visit Kelly Rock spring close by.
