Justin our guide was excellent!
Super fun. Beautiful park. Lots of manitees, gar, catfish, and a gator! Justin and Lucas did a great job as out guides!
Response from the operator: Sounds like you got to see a lot! Great spring to snorkel in as well. Please come back during manatee season for a real treat of a show!

Best Guide we have had, great experience!
Best tour we have been on! Saw multiple Alligators and swam in a natural spring and the Manatees swam right up to us!!
Response from the operator: Awee yes! The babies! We are happy you got to see the manatees! Come do Alexander next!

Gorgeous place to kayak and see manatees and looters of other wildlife
We had the most amazing day! Justin called to learn more about our group the night before and then adjusted the plan - it was absolutely perfect for us and we had eight people age 8 thru 65. Blue Springs was incredible. The area there is beautiful and we saw so much wildlife and fish! And the manatees were so close!! We saw a hawk dive for a fish, several manatees, all kinds of fish and birds and deer. And the swimming area is crystal clear. I would definitely do that again!! So worth it!! And bonus that he took so many great pictures so we could just enjoy the scenery.
Response from the operator: Blue Springs is really great! Its such a slower pace than Silver and you truly get to enjoy yourself! Let's aim for the next tour in December maybe? :)

Tour doesn’t disappoint!
Justin was an amazing guide for our kayak adventure. Very knowledgeable and took us to some pretty cool areas around Blue Springs. No need to bring out your phone. Just gets a lot of memories for you. I would highly recommend Justin and his adventure company. Tour was as promised. Saw lots of wildlife up close.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review. We all do our best to give every customer the best experience possible. Sharing photos is definitely a great addition for the tour. Hope to see you again.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Blue Springs Manatee Tours & Wildlife Adventure Orlando: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Daytona Beach.
How much does Blue Springs Manatee Tours & Wildlife Adventure Orlando cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Daytona Beach usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Blue Springs Manatee Tours & Wildlife Adventure Orlando take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Daytona Beach is not rushed.
Is Blue Springs Manatee Tours & Wildlife Adventure Orlando worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Daytona Beach, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Springs Manatee Tours & Wildlife Adventure Orlando?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Blue Springs Manatee Tours & Wildlife Adventure Orlando suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Blue Springs Manatee Tours & Wildlife Adventure Orlando?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Daytona Beach can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Daytona Beach and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Blue Springs Manatee Tours & Wildlife Adventure Orlando start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Daytona Beach within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Daytona Beach?
+
Daytona Beach combines Daytona International Speedway tours and ride-alongs with beach days on hard-packed sand, airboat rides, dolphin cruises and St Augustine day trips. On Outty we rank every Daytona Beach experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Daytona Beach Dolphin & Manatee Tour – Paddleboard or Kayak, New Smyrna Dolphin and Manatee Kayak and SUP Adventure Tour, Polynesian Fire and Dinner Show Ticket in Daytona Beach. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Daytona Beach?
+
March to May and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Daytona Beach?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
