Come with us down below as we journey down the Wacissa River, first on a magical airboat tour, and finishing with a technical and thrilling kayak paddle through the historical Slave Canal.
As we walked up to the air boat at the beginning of our trip at Wacissa River Springs, I was magnetically drawn to gaze in wonder at the view in front of me.
The river flows approximately 15-miles (19 km) south through a broad cypress swamp before breaking into numerous braided channels which join the Aucilla River, a few miles further south.
It’s best to take this trip with an experienced guide. Even though the Slave Canal is marked, you could easily get lost among different channels branching off so its best to take this trip with an experienced guide.
