Wow!! We had such a great overall experience!!! Banbury Adventures is by far the best way to experience blue heart springs and more! We had reserved kayaks but it was a chilly evening so they offered us a pontoon boat ride instead which was SO worth it!!! The boat is brand new. Amos was an amazing tour guide- we were able to experience box canyon, blue heart- complete with cold water plunge with towels and outdoor blankets and water bottles provided- and Ritter island with the beautiful waterfall. Because it was cold and evening, we had the whole river including blue heart to ourselves. The sun came out and the wind died down- perfect evening. Would strongly recommend this experience- pick a cold evening in the summer, dress warm and hopefully the weather will cooperate and you’ll have an unforgettable experience like we did..
They even keep the hot springs pool open just for us to warm up when we got back! Wow!!! ...

It's a popular destination for this underwater activity. It's usually crowded on the weekend since this secret springs existence became known.

Happy exploring, and as always,leave no trace, leave it better than you found it,...
Read moreNice little area to kayak or SUP out to. There were many people at the springs, even on a weekday morning. Most people had kayaks and SUPs, but there were also some jet skis. The water is cold; this is not a hot spring. The water is still very clear and pretty to look at. It's nice for a fast dip to wake you up, before you hop back on your kayak/SUP and head back out. We rented kayaks from 1000 springs riverhouse and it was a really great experience. The whole thing was really easy, they gave us everything we needed, and instructions on how to get where we were going. Getting to this place is something to do once, but probably only once. It's really too packed to make it a...
