Excellent tour and tour guide. Encountered lots of wild birds and gators, and the information given was valuable. The ride was comfortable and the experience was uncomplicated.

Enjoyable ride. We saw manatee at the dock but not on the cruise. Gators, turtles , birds (including a turkey) and a wild bore were spotted on the cruise. The crew was friendly and knowledgable. Onboard bathroom was out of order.

we had a beautiful day on the blue river, and learned so much from our knowledgeable guide, Lee. We sided many animals, including five manatees, nesting, ospreys, a rarely seen river otter, several alligators, and a flock of wild turkeys. Lee gave us so much information on the river, the ancient people that did inhabited it, and it’s challenges in the future. We learned a lot and had a wonderful time!
