The Rainbow River Clarity Meter

The springs pump crystal water every day of the year — but each season shows the river differently. Tap one.

Before You Book

Rainbow River Questions

Is the water really that clear?
Yes — the Rainbow is a first-magnitude spring system pushing roughly 490 million gallons of filtered groundwater a day, which keeps visibility extraordinary and the temperature at 72°F every day of the year.
Will we see manatees?
In the cooler months manatees push into the warm spring runs — winter and early spring give you the best odds, and your captain always keeps a legal, respectful distance.
What does the Rainbow River tour cost?
Same pricing as every All Out inland location: Wildlife Tour $50/person (1 hr), Sunset Photography $75/person (2 hrs), Alligator Tracking $95/person (2 hrs), Island BBQ $175/person (3–8 hrs), private charters from $500. Book online at aowefl.com/booking.
Is it kid-friendly?
Yes — ages 5 and up ride with us. Child-sized life jackets and hearing protection are provided, and the 1-hour Wildlife Tour is the perfect first airboat ride for younger guests.
When should I book?
Tours run by reservation, 7 days a week. Weekends and sunset slots fill first — book a few days ahead, or call/text 352-587-3422 for same-day availability.
