Overview

Blue Spring State Park is renowned as one of the best locations in Florida to observe manatees in their natural habitat. This two-hour boat cruise departs from the docks inside Blue Spring State Park and follows a route along the St. Johns River. The tour is led by a knowledgeable guide who shares information about the area's natural environment and history. The cruise includes a 10-minute segment within Blue Spring State Park itself, where passengers can view the spring area. For about 45 minutes, the boat travels through the surrounding wilderness, offering opportunities to see various wildlife such as wading birds, manatees, aquatic plants, cypress forests, and sometimes alligators. Because wildlife sightings can vary daily, each trip provides a unique experience. On-board restrooms are available for passenger convenience.
