Kayaking, zip lining, hiking and biking. Those are just a few of the adventures that await you in Tallahassee. I just recently got back from 3 days of exploring this amazing city and it was honestly one of the best trips I have had in a long time. Tallahassee is full of adventure, fun, excitement, entertainment, great food and so much more.

Tallahassee is an adventure seekers paradise.There is something to do around every corner. Whether you want a mild thrill or something extreme, chances are you’ll find it, in this beautiful part of Florida.
What To Do In Tallahassee
Wakulla Springs State Park
Wakulla Springs State Park is such a unique and fun place. It features one of the countries most beautiful, largest and deepest freshwater springs. These springs are crystal clear and you can actually see the fish swimming below you. One of the landmarks of this state park is a 1930s-era lodge which is reminiscent of what family summers used to be like. Right outside of the lodge is a huge swimming area with crystal blue waters. This swimming area is filled with fresh spring water so the temperature stays pretty cool, year round. Although no one seemed to mind. At the park you can also take a River cruise. This is an entertaining and informative guided cruise which gives an up-close glimpse of wildlife on the Wakulla River.
Fun Fact: The 1954 action/adventure film The Creature From The Black Lagoon was filmed here at the Wakulla River.
Kayaking with Wildlife
Kayaking is so much fun. But add in a few alligators, manatees, and fish and you’ve just made it a whole new adventure. At T-n-T Hide-A-Way you can kayak down the Wakulla River and do just that. I will admit, I was a little nervous about the idea of being so close to the wildlife but this was one of the most peaceful and thrilling activities I’ve done. The Wakulla River is so beautiful and I can’t think of a better place to become one with nature than here.
Zip-line through the Trees
There is zipping and then there is zipping at Tallahassee Tree to Tree Adventures. At Tree To Tree Adventures you will zip through the tree-tops, over swamps all while conquering heart-pounding obstacle courses. This isn’t your normal zip line. Sure there are plenty of zips throughout the course but there is so much more going on. And it’s all different so your always alert to what is awaiting you on the next course.
Bike and Hike through 600+ Miles of Beautiful Trails
If biking and hiking is your thing, than Tallahassee is the place you need to be! They have over 600 miles of beautiful trails all over the city. In fact they have so many trails that they have a nickname for Tallahassee, it’s Trailahassee. These trails aren’t just your normal straight and narrow roads, they are trails that take you on an adventure through forests and next to swamps. It’s a great way to explore the city.
I feel in love with Tallahassee during my short trip. It’s a beautiful city with so much adventure, beauty and excitement.
