Join us as we attempt to paddle 12 miles on the crystal clear waters of the Weeki Wachee River. Unlike our prior (failed) attempt at completing this paddle, this time we came prepared with long sleeves, extra bug spray, and a pair of brand new inflatable paddleboards.

Thank you to the sponsor of this video ‪@bassproshops‬ for providing us with the new Ascend Paddleboards as well as other products that we used on our day in the Weeki Wachee.

    We found out about Weeki Wachee a few years ago. We’ve been five times, stay at the same Airbnb which is on a canal that connects to the river. It comes with kayaks so we get to circumnavigate the park hours, and don’t have to pay for parking or boat rentals. It cost a little more than a hotel, but worth it for us a family of five. Great video!
  • @djSmokeShow
    You guys are putting a massive amount of effort into this channel and it shows!!! Really enjoyed this video and just subscribed. Wishing you the best in everything you do.
  • This place looks amazing! I prefer inflatable paddle boards over kayak any day 👍 so much easier to maneuver. I use mine as a kayak with a double paddle.
  • @ginanicole5664
    The ‘Pet me’ dog on Paddle board in your video, is here today! 😊
  • @jenikaybell142
    Love this river! I’ve paddled from Roger’s Park and back many times. One of my favorite places!
  • @carolyn_s
    What a workout! That was a great trip with beautiful scenery.
  • Spring Hill resident here...I won't mention the name either but yeah, that hotel directly across from the Water Park is pretty well known in the area for being sketchy at best.
  • @rhondalyn100
    Another wonderful video, guys! Excellent visuals, editing and soundtrack. Thanks so much! 😃
  • @Victory1981
    Good stuff! Glad you’ll had a better time this time around.
  • @lisapolanski9379
    I really appreciate all this helpful information. I'll have to practice paddle boarding where I live and consider doing this trip. It's such an unusual and special vacation idea. I just visited Crystal River (the day after the hurricane) and drove south past these springs and I definitely want to go back there for a few days. Florida is beautiful in October.
  • @ginanicole5664
    Lol! This just showed up and I’m kayaking on Weeki Wachee! Love this place! 🤍 Gonna watch this real quick to get any tips for the day!
  • @alangoacher727
    Thank you guys for your videos! We went to weeki wachee on our trip last week and kayak down it! We also went to other hidden gems we seen on your videos

    We’re renting a house in FL next year for a month……..apparently during yellow fly season. Dang!
