Boat captain was knowledgeable, engaging, and willing to back up to view things people missed. He encouraged questions and provided thoughtful answers on plant and animal management as well as river history and environmental policies.

The area is very interesting and was excited about seeing the alligators, manatees and all the bird species in the river. I was very glad we could get up and walk around as we sat on the opposite side of where all the wildlife was on the shore.

We spent a little over 4 hours in the park. Two hours were on the nature cruise where we saw alligators and many bird types. Two hours walking down to the spring head and around the park. People and staff were friendly.

Operator was very personable and knowledgeable. I went on the 2 hour cruise which was a little long but still relaxing. Didn’t get to see any manatees because it was a busy day and they were hiding but it was still a beautiful place.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for the reply, I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the cruise and personal.
I hope you have a chance to come back out and see us again.

This park was just delightful. We enjoyed the boardwalk along the river and touring the home. We ate a picnic lunch on the front lawn. The bathrooms were clean and numerous. The 2 hour boat trip was peaceful with our driver and guide pointing out various wildlife and plants with humor and good infomration.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
