About

Come along as we welcome you aboard for a narrated adventure down the St. Johns River! Departing daily from our docks at Blue Spring State Park, this cruise is a long-standing tradition among travelers to Central Florida. The St. Johns River is rich in history and wildlife, and our friendly crew is excited to share its wonders with you. Keeping in mind that we will be traveling in the wild and sightings change greatly from day to day, common things to see on the river include wading birds, manatees, aquatic plant life, cypress forests, and alligators. Only 45 minutes north of Orlando, this trip provides a great change of pace for both vacationers and locals.

What to Bring

  • Sunscreen
  • Hat
  • Binoculars (Birders)

Additional Info

Check in at our ticket booth at least 30 minutes prior to departure. We are located at the docks at the end of the main park road (lower parking lot). It is important to arrive early to the Park, as it regularly reaches capacity. We recommend at least 2 hours prior to boat departure. If the park has stopped admitting vehicles, present your tour confirmation info to an available ranger for entry.
