Josh the US Coast Guard Captain was fully knowledgeable about the land and water. I brought two visitors with me today, they were so impressed.

We had the best time on the Blue Heron Tour today! We were celebrating our daughter’s birthday with a ride down the St. John’s River. It was very relaxing and informative. Josh did a great job as the captain. He was professional and funny! We’d take this cruise again in the cooler weather to see even more wonderful nature. Thanks for a great day!!

About Blue Heron River Tours
The St. Johns River, edged with tall trees, teems with wildlife year-round; gators and visiting winter manatees swim beneath its surface while herons and cranes stoically stalk their fishy prey above. Thanks to Blue Heron River Tours, one can get an up-close glimpse of these sights in the company of a pontoon boat named Great Blue and coast-guard-certified captains. The approximately 10-mile tour on the St. John's River departs from St. John's Marina and Resort in DeLand. Along the way, the captains fill the air with an interactive narrative on river history, flora and fauna, and humans' impact on the area, giving plenty of opportunities for photo ops.
