Took the 2 hour tour on a Sunday. There were only 4 of us on the boat. Rebecca, the tour guide and captain, did a great job getting us up close and personal with the wildlife. She pointed out many birds, turtles, alligators and manatees. She also gave us background information on other animals in the park. We even saw an owl and wild turkeys! Well worth the $30.00 cost.

The boat ride exceeded our family's expectations. Very beautiful, serene setting. The 2 hour ride gave us plenty of picture opportunities, from the beautiful surroundings, to alligators, many bird species, and turtles! Everyone in our group enjoyed the trip, from my 8 year old to the grandparents. Worth every penny!

Beautiful scenery and lots of birds, alligators, turtles, exotic plants. Comfortable open air boat with toilet. Four guide was very knowledgeable , humorous and accommodating for great photo ops. She even backed the boat up several times to make sure everyone got to see the fauna and flora hiding in the greenery. I highly recommend taking this relaxing and illuminating float down the St. John's River!

The boat ride and tour guide were amazing. We saw plenty of birds (including an eagle), alligators, and turtles. The boardwalk to the springs was also enjoyable. Especially seeing a manatee.

We had a great captain. She has been doing this for 24 years. She was not afraid to stop and back up if she saw something at the last minute she thought was interesting. Saw alligators, turtles, hawks, owls, many kinds of egret, water ducks, and a bald eagle.
