Wouldn't you know it the one day I go over to the gorgeous Blue Spring State Park and the manatees are on vacation and didn't make an appearance. It was rather cold so I'm not sure where they were hiding out but we still enjoyed the beautiful boardwalk, historic home, store, and well kept grounds of the park. It's such a peaceful place and so welcoming for families of all ages with great places to picnic. Hopefully next visit I'll see the manatees.

Well organized and responsive company. I made a mistake in my reservation and one quick phone call fixed it.

What an amazing experience to kayak in truly wild Florida. Had a terrific time seeing so many birds, plants, turtles and the occasional alligator, up close, but from the safety of the kayak. Birds included little blue and green herons, limpkin, anhinga, white ibis, cat birds, red-shouldered hawk, 3 species of woodpeckers and many passerines. I have kayaked in coastal regions of Florida on previous trips but found this the most exciting in terms of scenery and wildlife. Kenny proved to be a very knowledgable guide about everything relating to the flora and fauna and an expert in anticipating everything to make the day comfortable, safe and fun.

My family and I have been going to this location since it opened. It is a nice place to get away from thunderstorms and on extremely hot Florida days. This location is trying to get into the 21st century by serving beer and wine. But there are rules which go with this which are strictly adhered to. About 3 years ago, when the movie Act of Valor came out my sons and I belonged to Sea Scouts, which is a part of the Boy Scouts. Our ship's crew wanted to go badly to the movie, so we went in dressed uniforms. The management was aware of us coming and even made a marquee welcoming our ship. The crew (all teens) thought that was great. What I'd like to see in this theater are not just reclining seats, but the kind of seats which also have footstools especially for disabled people. I personally am required to keep my legs raised when sitting if possible due to a disability which causes a circulation problem. This would be greatly appreciated. My 21 year old son has been to a theater in Orlando that has this and he loved it.

I actually took my bike on this trip. The trails were well maintained and easy to follow. Not a very well known park so no one was there on a Saturday. I was able to explore and enjoy the sounds of nature in the wild. Birds were chirping and squirrels were busy. I love being alone in this very rustic woodsy park. You can bike or hike your choice. Keep an eye out for snakes this is a great place for hiding snakes.

We saw a ton of birds, turtles, and alligators. The river was beautiful, the guide was good and the ride was relaxing. My kids got a little bored since the tour was 2 hours, but it’s good overall. The guide mentioned how bad the mosquitos can get when it’s warmer, but in early February the weather was perfect!

The staff at the museum was eager and helpful in answering questions and providing interesting details about the areas past. The lecture on the St. John's River was fabulous and educational and enlightening. I learned much about the ecology of the river, the animals who dwell there and the need for preservation.

This house has some cool history, but the house itself was super simple and you can only tour the first floor. I wouldn't make a special stop just to visit the house. The nearby manatee viewing is amazing, though!
