I recently bought a home on the Rainbow River. No regrets. I absolutely love the water and wildlife.

During top of covid in August I did this river and a few others on paddle board. Hardly anyone was there. It was amazing. I did see an alligator my first time in (size of my leg). It swam in front of us. It was a conquer a major fear time ! It was incredible to see so many people in the water. (Not as many as usual..but) We went here everyday for 10days. I couldn't get enough. The swimming area was so great, because the resort park part was closed for covid. We snorkeled for hours. And left every nite as the sunset and leisurely floated back down the river. Best vacation ever ! I loved reliving it through your video. Thanks !

Rainbow Springs used to be a theme park a long time ago! It really is a beautiful park. We still need to kayak there, but the tubing is amazing. Totally with Sarah about clear water. People ask how can you swim near alligators, and I always say I don't swim in dark water. It is safer than swimming in the ocean. Great video and makes us want to go kayaking now!

Rainbow Spring is my favorite spring in Florida.There is so beautiful and the water just amazing!I definitely will go back again.

The park used to have a tram ride that was shaped like gigantic leaves and they had a huge cage and doors would open and there we’re beautiful birds in the cage and then you rode through it. It was a nice scenic slow ride. They had a glass bottom boat ride also. It used to be a school field trip. I loved it. The ride was awesome because it wasn’t super high but high enough to see so much. I don’t remember much other wildlife. Mostly the birds. I was sad when it closed because it was simple and reasonably priced. The Rainbow River is awesome. I have floated many times down the river. We used to tie our tubes together. You could take food as long as it was in containers that were NOT disposable. I watched your episode that you spent time with the famous man. I remember so many of the beautiful homes. Haven’t done that trip in years so thanks for the memories. We would do two car loads of people park one car at KP Hole and the other by the bridge where you get out. Good times. I never seen a gator ever on any of my many floating trips. Lots of fish. ❤

1st time viewers! Adding Rainbow River to our bucket list! Beautiful video-much enjoyed!

Oh man, that water is amazing!! I loved seeing the otters as well!

Thanks for taking me along on this adventure. I'm in NH for the summer and winter in Lake Worth Beach, Fl. What a beautiful river to explore someday. My dumb HOA won't allow pick-up trucks that I have here. I would love to bring my canoe. At 75, I prefer a little bit of freeboard. And a wicker back chair.

You both make excellent videos. Thank you for holding the camera still so I don't get nauseous.

the otters were amazing to watch. i'm reviewing your recent Key West videos and have made reservations at various state parks for my paddleboard, snorkle, bike riding trip in 1-1/2 weeks. I'm so excited. tHank you for all your videos. i love watching you both. Rebecca

I just love y'all. Much respect from Georgia😊

"You're a waterfall" is an excellent description of summer camping in Florida lol!!! We're excited to camp now that the temps have dropped....a little 🤣 Love watching your channel!

I love the look of wonderment on your faces. I'm an old man now , never made it to Florida, wish I had.

I will be visiting there for the first time ever during May.

We live about 20-25 minutes from RSS, and it's really beautiful! Along the river are adorable river otters!

There are 1,100 springs in Florida, and all are beautiful. Every spring is unique in its own way. Some springs are revealed in low water levels. The thing with Rainbow, you have the head springs and the river. Nice video!

that bubbling in the springs is a really good sign of fermentation! lol

Love this! You 2 have amazing good energy! Enjoy your posts! We’re headed to Rainbow Springs Next weekend. Look forward to it!

It is the best and most beautiful spring in florida. I grew up going here and many others. Rainbow takes the cake. It is 7 miles long and flows into Withlacoochee River then to the gulf of mexico. Just a heads up you cant drink alcohol or have anything you can throw away on the river at anytime. That's why it is so prestine. Y'all did a wonderful video showing off Florida's finest!!❤

Looks relaxing and very beautiful

Okay I have a bone to pick with you too LOL you can't go this long without putting out a video LOL I mean I'm going through withdrawals you are my favorite couple your stuff is positive uplifting and the way you guys so naturally are with each other it's just a blessing keep up what you do could do more of it so we don't have to have this conversation again LOL God bless you both

Absolutely beautiful location. Will add it to my places to paddle list.

No monkeys on the Rainbow that I've ever seen. Silver Springs/River has monkeys though, and also served as the filming location for the original Tarzan series from the 1940s, starring Johnny Weismiller as the lead. Another river in the area, Crystal River, has a small island with monkeys, but they aren't as wild as the ones at Silver Springs. Don't get too close as I've heard they throw poop. Crystal River is a great place to view manatees as well, primarily in the summer. If you really want to encounter more gators, the Ocklawaha River is a fairly primitive river north of the Silver River. Great video, by the way.

Really great meeting you guys today!

Just found your channel and watched a few videos. Really enjoying you paddle board adventures...great way to be part of and see nature. Just Subscribed.

One of my favorite places! The swimming hole is soooo deep though. Was hoping I’d be able to touch the ground somewhere, but nope! Would love to live closer. I’d go all the time if I were a local. I wish I would’ve seen otters when I was there!!

I'm on vacation in Key West and Key Largo next month for two weeks i hope to catch a few of these stops on the way down or back up,they are absolutely stunning....Oh this will be my first trip ever to the great state of Florida as well...

As a kid(a long time ago) my family used to go there when it was an amusement park. We preferred it to silver springs. Beautiful place

I live about 3 miles from Rainbow Springs. It’s a beautiful little spot. 🫶💯

This was the original one I was going to do, but others convinced me of Silver Springs, Wekiwa (Kings Landing), and Weeki Wachee. They are all beautiful. Wish I did this one too.

Beautiful

Great video, beautiful place. How long is the paddle run?

Love the rainbow river footage! Excellent ariel views! Girl, that white mermaid sunshirt is so cute!! Can we get a link??

Van adventures again!!!!!!

lots of urban sprawl and overdevelopment coming to the area I hope the state and county protects the spring from over growth and the underground water supply that feeds it is depleted due to overdevelopment

You guys are the best!! Such a cute couple! Sarah can you please give me your pancake recipe??

Years ago one of the Tarzan movies was filmed at Silver Springs Florida, and they brought in monkeys for the movie and now there are monkeys in that area and I’m sure in Rainbow River area also

I almost came down to Florida first week of January but all the campgrounds were full so I decided to stay local! Merry Christmas and happy new years friends!!

Waoo what an amazing experience. What type of van if that I would love to turn one in to a camper

Have you been to glacier national park? The lakes and rivers are crystal clear😍

Love your vids! We’re headed to rainbow springs next week, I need to know-where did you get that green leopard bikini? It’s really cute and looks comfortable!

I have a house on the river. There's a spot we kayak to and it's this blue deep blue large hole with a cave under there :)

Great videos guys .. we are heading there soon. My fiancé wants to Know where did you get your water sandals:)

Wow I was recently there and never new those fall where there

Such a nice surprise this morning! Such incredibly clear waters! Another really wonderful adventure! So much to my surprise I have Covid, despite having had all my shots and boosters. I have a particularly awful case of conjunctivitis, usually not a big deal but I got a particularly harsh type of it and have had to get my eyes scraped! (I have to go back on Monday for more - yikes!) My eyes hurt but not enough to keep me from watching your wonderful video! (:

Cool 😎

What a great plug for a beautiful park. Will you be kayaking down the Ichetucknee soon? Soon,soon, soon I hope😀

theres an old cemetery with a few graves hidden on the rainbow springs grounds from a ghost town from the 1800s called juliette that was next to the spring

So many beautiful blue springs in Florida safer than ocean but still the alligators!

I’m just getting into hiking in our state parks with my service dog any shoe or boot recommendations for our environment

I love swimming here but can never get a campsite.

yawl are aewesome thank you godbless yawl good day

When I was a kid it was an amusement park I remember when it closed we would swim in the springs downstream we found out quickly that they had released all the alligators when the Park closed it was kind of scary

the water wasn't too cold? what was the temperature? thanks

So the falls are still inoperable. The pumps are from the 1930s and have been repaired over the decades. Unfortunately they no longer can be repaired. I’ve heard new replacement pumps have been purchased however they are seeking funding to install them.

Applesauce? In a pancake? Is that a Canadian thing? Never heard of this.

Wow just wow, thanks again for a great video made my day better, made me want to subscribe, this Canadian is now having a better day

were those fkn otters? I've lived in this area my entire life and never seen them. I'm jealous lol

Would love to know what month you are there and the daily temperatures…I lived in Orlando and Panama City beach…while in Orlando we went to a lake park where they rent boards and I asked about alligators in the lake and she says, this is a residential pond and alligators don’t come here … I said, do the alligators know it’s a residential pond? cuz we’ve seen alligators in residential ponds. LOL!!! 😂

I live like 3 miles from there.

So if Rainbow Springs used to be a theme park does the river go in a circle?

Sarah, what sandals are you wearing??

"there's a tick on. that's Florida".....uh...no!! born and raised in Florida and been in the woods many times with no tick incident. not sayin we don't have them but me and my kids had ticks all over us from the woods in northern Alabama. so ticks are NOT a Florida thing. nice video of the spring tho😉.

Like ur channel Can’t understand why you don’t get a battery pump and ac in the van

Do you know why there is not very many fish?

Oh you silly kids 😆 You don’t go to Florida in the summer!!

how does this compare to silver springs

Add lemon juice and salt to that pineapple thank me Later

Again try my vinegar hack

I don't come to the Rainbow River anymore I used to come here when I was young 40/50 years ago when it was still pretty . Now it's so crowded and now the people will pay millions of dollars for property and this is what it's going to be it's very sad Northerners bring to Florida

PS adventures I can't believe you started the video with such a faux pas. Weren't you instructed by TLC in the 90s not to go chasing waterfalls, and that's the first thing you did on the trip

Gators?

Don’t alligators move fast? Could you really get back on your kayak before getting eaten?

Missouri is the worst place in America for ticks during warm weather. They freak me out too. I’m constantly looking myself over and my wife too. Of course I love checking her out, even though she doesn’t understand my pleasure looking her over. I don’t understand why women think we me think like them that they’re not beautiful. I never tire looking at her.

Beautiful place but presenters are too cute by half….drama queens😏

Im surprised DeSantis hasnt made them change the name of the springs by now

It's actually gin

She's funny

Beautiful
