🇺🇸 Springs of Tea ☕️! Happy Kayaking in Florida

After the rain, Rock Springs looked like a giant cup of black tea! Though the water wasn’t as crystal clear as usual, the reddish glow under the sunlight made the whole river look incredibly beautiful 🌅🛶. Our guide told us this unique color is actually a sign of a healthy ecosystem — caused by natural tannins from cypress trees and fallen leaves mixing with the spring water. How cool is that? 🌿🍂 As we paddled further toward the spring’s source, the water gradually turned clear and bright emerald blue — absolutely perfect for photos! 📸💧 Don’t forget to bring your waterproof phone case or camera. We spotted little fish swimming below and even a turtle resting on a log 🐢. Kayaking here isn’t just a workout — it’s a whole vibe. Peaceful, magical, and so Floridian! Whether you're gliding through “tea-stained” currents or floating above crystal-clear springs, every moment is Instagram-worthy ✨. If you’re planning a trip, mornings are the best time to avoid crowds. Also — water shoes and sunscreen are a must! 👟☀️ #USA #Orlando #NatureLovers #KayakingAdventure #StudyAbroad #FloridaTravel #RockSprings
