If you are looking for a different ecosystem with great photo opportunities, this lazy river in Florida offers the perfect adventure spot and Instagram-worthy shots. King's Landing is a river-run adventure experience with the best outdoor landscape and pristine waters for your bucket list.

There are plenty of things to do at this emerald water attraction on the Wekiva River and Rocks Springs Run, located in Central Florida.

You can book a 2-hour beginner kayak tour ($59/person), a 3.5-hour guided tour for intermediate-level kayakers ($75/person), or choose the 8.5-mile long experienced kayak trip ($99/person) with several spots to stop. This magnificent journey takes an average of 4.5 hours to complete.

You can also go solo and rent a kayak for $49. You can launch your own boat here as well, or guests can simply choose a canoe experience or a swim pass.

While paddling, you will encounter some wildlife such as deer, bears, otters. This is one of the most tranquil environments to paddle on due to its jungle-like vibe. While kayaking on the Amazon River sounds awesome, this Florida-based adventure is way more affordable.

If you are planning to visit this place, make sure you reserve your spot online in advance! There's also a super affordable camping experience on-site (all details here!).
