Activities
Weeki Wachee Canoe & Kayak Rental - About 65 miles (but worth the trip)
Paddle down the spring fed, crystal clear Weeki Wachee River in our canoes or kayaks. Water temperature average is 74°F year round. We offer a seven mile trip going with the flow of the river. Your self guided adventure averages about 2.5 hours with easy paddling and without stopping along the river. However you may take more time if you choose as long as you make it to our pick up point on time.
We have taken this trip several times and it is highly recommended.
