We booked this online to make sure we got on the cruise we wanted. The crew were very informative and found lots of alligators, herons egrets and turtles us to see. The cruise is 2 hours long but seemed like 1 hour ! There were plenty of photo opportunities and the captain made sure that we got as close as... More

This is the second time I've done the St. John's River Cruise. I'd do it again! We booked online and had no problems. The 1 pm boat was sold out, so we had to go with the 10 am boat. That was better because there were fewer people. This was the third week in April. We stayed in Lake Mary,... More

I took the boat ride in March and it was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. A beautiful, peaceful ride with an amazing amount of wildlife. The pilot was fantastic at spotting wildlife and they'd stop and back the boat up so everyone could see them. Saw bald eagles, osprey, different kinds of herons, egrets, sandhill cranes, alligators,... More

But that was only a small part of the cruise, in and out of the meandering loops of the old river channel. We saw... More

My wife and I recently took the river cruise, the trip was very relaxing and we saw several alligators and many birds which live along the river. We did not see manatee on the cruise, there were approximately 20 - 30 in the spring that we were able to observe along the boardwalk.

But in the St John's River trip boat, with covered roof and even sides, with a VERY highly knowledgeable and interesting ship's captain and guide, and with the beautiful St John's River,... More

We went on the river cruise while we were camping at Blue Springs State park and it was by far the highlight of our visit to Blue Springs. The trip was fantastic, wildlife and birds were everywhere. The captain of the boat was extremely knowledgeable and could answer all our questions and was very skilled in spotting at getting the... More

This ethical ecotour along the St. John was a wonderful way to enjoy seeing the river and its flora and fauna. The pilot was a knowledgeable naturalists who shared the history of the river, information about the birds and other wildlife. The two hour trip was worth the time and money spent. This river trip would be good for all... More
