  • If you're wondering what to know before Kayaking down the Wekiva River, then this video is for you! We launched from Wekiwa Springs, and kayak a stretch of the Wekiva River past Wekiva Islando and back.
    If this is something you're considering for your Florida vacations, I'll go over all the details and show you why this should be a part of your Florida itinerary.

    Love it Chrissa! We love kayaking! Love this addition to the previous video! Always really helpful! When you go to these places, it always seems so exclusive because no one else is in your shots! Always get there early because you get the whole place to yourself!

    Not me i have heard about gator attacks that were hair raising close to death attacks were people get nocked out of their kayaks and leave them after swimming to shore . This was a kayak owner who was afraid to return to the river and never retrieved his kayak

I said wild monkeys and Weeki Waachi - that has a live mermaid show.. and water park! Devil's Den that I was telling you about earlier... is a spring in an underground cave.

    The river is very calm so it's great for beginners. Wow i see you're not wearing a life vest floater!? is the water shallow? Nice detailed review.

    • @ChrissaTravels
      @ChrissaTravels  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is really calm... which makes it perfect for beginners! For most of the river, the water is really shallow....maybe 2-3 feet. We only usually stay in the first part of the river... and I think the deepest I've noticed it go was maybe 5-6 feet and it doesn't stay deep for long.
