Manatee Kayak Tour at Blue Springs State Park

Once everyone meets at the boat ramp, your guide will go over basic paddling instruction, paddling safety and how to safely interact with Florida wildlife. A release of liability form will have to be signed before participating.

Paddle for approximately 10-minutes to the spring and your awaiting Manatees. Your guide will point out the best viewing places and answer any questions. After everyone gets a big dose of Manatees you will be guided to the Snake River for an hour paddle through a crooked creek with an abundance of wildlife.

This area of river is packed with Manatee, Otter, and sunbathing Alligators. Overhead Bald Eagle, Osprey and Red Shoulder Hawks scan the water and marshes for their next meal. On the river bank you can spot large wading birds, Coots, Morehens and the occasional Wild Hog.

On the way back to your car, there is a final stop with the Manatees so you can view them from the wooden boardwalk. Feel free to stay at the park after your tour for a picnic lunch or snorkeling.
