These guys answered the phone the morning I wanted to book a last minute kayaking trip for my family. They were helpful and professional. Their location is perfect and so is the drop off spot for Cypress Springs. This was my all time favorite activity my family and I have done while visiting Destin, FL. Absolutely worth the drive.

Awesome experience and would definitely do it again!! Gabe and Ashley were absolutely amazing as our tour guides and by the end of it they didn’t feel like guides. It felt like I just went out with some of my best friends! I kayaked and my wife paddle boarded and we both really enjoyed the trip to the spring, swimming there, and then paddling down the rest of the way. It was absolutely beautiful and super relaxing. They also took extra care to make sure we had food water sunscreen etc. From pickup in the van to dropping us back off it was the best part of our vacation by far!!

Cold Water Outfiters is a great place to plan your next (or first) guided hunt. I want waterfowl foul hunting for the first time in Oct 2025. The lodge is great, the food is on point, and the staff is down to earth. The price is perfect for a 4 day hunt. Sitting around the fire telling stories over a few beer is the perfect place for building new friendships. The guide keep the groups perfect size so everyone gets a shot. Hitting the bird is on you though. I recommend contacting them and setting up a trip, you won't regret it. The knowledge and passion of the guides shows in every hunt. I had some issues with my gun dueto ammo, The guide gave me a spare and I was shooting at the next run of birds. We got back to the lodge and swapped ammo after trouble shooting it with the guides. Took a few test fires and was good to go. *********Big tip make sure you dont buy your license until you find out what zone you will be hunting.********* I didnt have this issue but some folks did. Had such a blast in 2025 I already booked 2026! I also plan to get some guys together and check out the guided fishing in North Carolina.

Overall, an awesome experience! My only complaint is that we booked for 11:30 AM, but when we arrived, the van was already full—so we had to wait nearly an hour for it to return. I definitely recommend getting there at least 30 minutes early, if not more. Also it doesn’t seem like the kayaks are cleaned very often. Cypress is absolutely gorgeous, though! Just be prepared—it’s pretty packed this time of year, which is totally expected.

We had a great time! There were 6 of us ranging from 5 to 64 and everyone enjoyed the time. We kayaked in the crystal-clear (and very cold) water, snorkeled, swam, hunted shells and jumped from the rope swing. They provided lunch and drinks along with chairs, towels and sunscreen. Highly recommend!
