Looking for Adventure
2024-09-21
If you are looking for an adventurous day trip, this is it! I took this trip with two of my friends, but I can't wait to go back with the family. Paige, our guide was the best! She was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and history of the area. Also she is a great photographer! If you are feeling brave, you will not regret going in the caves! Overall, it is a very beautiful place to see, and we will definitely be going back.
Tour with Paige!

We had the best time together as a family at Blue Springs! We scheduled a tour and our guide was Paige, she was very knowledgeable, patient, kind, and good with our kids! We highly recommend it and will be back! It's worth every penny!
Most amazing adventure ever!

Paige was a phenomenal guide, fun and very knowledgeable. We explored several of the springs and some of the different caves on Merritts Mill Pond Eco Adventure. The most amazing part was swimming in Gator Hole cave and the sheer beauty of the springs themselves. I highly recommend booking a tour with Paige and experiencing the true hidden gems of Florida.
