Why wouldn’t you want to transport via puddles?
Water Portal
6th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a vial of pure water)
Duration: 10 minutes
As you cast the spell, you touch up to six willing creatures. For the duration of the spell, those creatures can jump into any body of water from a puddle to an ocean, think of another body of water that the character has seen or knows of, and jump out of the body of water. The character must have a clear image of the destination where they wish to go. Creatures may jump from and to multiple bodies of water during the duration of the spell and once cast the targets need not stay together. The body of water the creature jumps into must have a large enough surface area to account for the area under the whole creature ie a creature may not jump into a class of water, but a man may step into a puddle while a horse would need something the size of a water trough.
