Awesome kayaking experience at Weeki Wachee! For those trying to find it: when you turn off Shoal Line Blvd, take an immediate right, then go just past the closed restaurant (check my photos in the review for reference). The kayak rental building is easy to miss if you’re not paying attention—look for a building with two garage doors, a regular door, and a blue and gold dolphin above one of the garage doors. It also has a sign that says "Kayaks & Attractions." Parking is free, and the staff will guide you exactly where to park, which makes arrival simple and easy. At check-in, you’ll fill out a quick liability form. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and they even held onto my car keys during the trip. There’s a clean bathroom, a souvenir shop, and cold drinks available too. This is the only area I think they could improve check in and check out to be a little smoother. Paddling tips: After launching, head down the canal and take the first left at the end of the canal to begin paddling upstream. Always stay to the right as you go. When you pass Rogers Park on your left, do not go under the bridge—stay right to continue upstream. On the return trip, when you see Rogers Park again, take a left, paddle toward the giraffe statue, and then take a right into the launch area. The paddling experience? Incredible. Weeki Wachee River is absolutely stunning. The water is so clear you can see fish swimming below you, and you’re surrounded by lush vegetation, wildlife, and peaceful scenery the entire way. It truly feels like paddling through a tropical paradise. Just be prepared—paddling upstream is a workout. We rented for 4 hours and spent 2 hours going upstream, with only 1 hour coming back down thanks to the strong current. That return trip is a breeze, though—just sit back and enjoy the ride! Helpful tips: Bring a Ziploc bag or waterproof pouch for your phone and electronics Pack a couple of bottles of water Wear sunscreen—the Florida sun is intense Bring a change of clothes in case you swim or get splashed And remember: when another boat is approaching, always keep to the right—just like driving! Between the natural beauty, helpful staff, and relaxing float back, this was one of the best kayaking trips I’ve ever had. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!
