River Cruise in Florida, USA
Rating (8/10)
River cruises in Florida is a wonderful opportunity to observe Florida’s wildlife - to enjoy delicious food, music and fun aboard an air conditioned and heated modern double-decked river boat or triple-deck paddle-wheeler river boat. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, Nassau Sound and Cumberland Sound it isn't any surprise that much of Amelia Island's history has revolved around the water — from a smuggling center for slaves and maraudering pirates to a playground for the elite and the illicit to Civil War fortress and world headquarters for revolutionary shrimping. Imagine having a chance to explore the same history-making waters and enjoying the spectacular views. You can take a leisurely guided boat tour on some of Florida's most scenic waterways: The Withlacoochee, Rainbow Springs Rivers or Lake Rousseau.
On the tours it is possible to see many species of bird life as well as Alligators, Turtles, Otters, Deer, Wild Turkeys, Bobcats, Wild Boar, and Large Mouth Bass jumping out of the water. The Withlacoochee, Rainbow Springs rivers or Lake Rousseau are some of Florida's most outstanding waterways. Along the Withlacoochee or Rainbow Springs river or Lake Rousseau is a great way to see some of Florida's Beautiful birds. There are over 300 species of birds along these rivers throughout the year, Bald Eagles, Limpkin, Blue Herons, Night Herons, Osprey and many other species. We have large flocks of migratory birds that come to Florida every year.
We also do walking tours into a 5000 acre Preserve to see some of the birds that may not be seen along the banks of the river such as the Eastern Towhee or the Florida Scrub Jay. These trips are self explanatory, very scenic and very romantic. Bring a bottle of wine or soft drinks, sit back and relax on a peaceful sunset tour or one of the fabulous moonlit night tours. 3-HOUR LUNCHEON CRUISES around - $38.00 SUNDAY BRUNCH CRUISE - $38.00 MOONLIGHT DINING & DANCING CRUISE- $53.75.
