Step aboard the River Boat Tour at Wakulla Springs State Park for a guided journey through Florida’s ancient waterways. The boat glides over one of the world’s largest and deepest freshwater springs, which pushes out hundreds of millions of gallons of water daily.

Famous for its role as a backdrop for early Hollywood cinema, this river remains a preserved sanctuary just a short drive from Tallahassee. The tour moves at a rhythmic pace, allowing plenty of time to photograph manatees, wildlife, and the massive cypress canopy that defines the natural landscape.

📍 Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park
🕒 Frequency: Tours depart 365 days a year weather permitting
🚢 Accessibility: ADA-compliant boats are available by request
