Description

Join one of our experienced river guides as you discover the local flora and fauna of the St. Johns River. While every trip out on the water is unique and wildlife varies from day to day, animals that are commonly seen are wading birds, manatees, and alligators. In general, these trips are great for birders, sightseers, and photographers. These small group tours (up to 10 guests per guide) allow our naturalists to provide more special attention to the guests.

Please note that we launch our boats from a beach. Your feet may get wet during the launch process, so please plan footwear accordingly.
