Escape Disney and Enjoy Nature
What a fantastic tour! Blue Springs and the St. Johns River is such a treasure and this trip made it even more special. Our guide was amazing -- she was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and plants. We saw manatees, alligators, a bald eagle and many spectacular birds. Super friendly and made it a fun outing for our family. They were really well organized and made sure everyone was taken care of.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! We are happy you had a wonderful experience! Come see us again!

Perfect weather for a kayak trip
This was a great kayak trip. Saw many manatee at the springs then kayaked the river back into the creek where the water was smooth and saw other wildlife.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! We are happy you got to see all the manatees, along with other wildlife, the river has to offer. Come see us again!

The best guided tour I’ve experienced!
The Kayak tour was unforgettable! It was an amazing tour! Very informative, saw wildlife and of course the main attraction was the manatees. We will definitely be back.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! It's always a great time getting to see the manatees. We look forward to seeing you again!

Incredible and memorable experience!
What an amazing individualized and at your pace guided tour! The night before Greg checked in with us to make sure we were all set and knew what to expect a head of time. We were greeted at Blue Springs by Both Greg and Eric. They were very kind, professional, knowledgeable, and patient. Most of the group had never kayaked. Since it was early in the season, it was too warm for the manatees, however; Eric did not disappoint. His vast knowledge allowed us to experience and learn all about the wild and plant life in the St. John River as well as in Florida. Above all, the patience he had with all our questions and having a 7 year old with us was unbelievably great. Would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. Very memorable experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! SO glad you had such a wonderfull experience! Come see us again!

Awesome Experience for our Family
What a great day outside of Orlando. We kayaked with our family of 10 ranging in age from 19 - 75. We saw lots of manatees in their own environment, not captive. We saw a bald eagle amongst lots of other birds, alligators and turtles too. Matt, our guide was awesome. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the tour. Having a guide who clearly is enjoying what they are doing makes such a difference. I would highly recommend seeing Florida's natural beauty.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! Its amazing how much wildlife you see on the St, Johns river. We try our best to capture every moment and to make sure you leave with great memories.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florida Kayak/Fishing Tours Blue Springs Orlando: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Daytona Beach.
How much does Florida Kayak/Fishing Tours Blue Springs Orlando cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 Florida Kayak/Fishing Tours Blue Springs 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 Florida Kayak/Fishing Tours Blue Springs Orlando worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Florida Kayak/Fishing Tours Blue Springs 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 Florida Kayak/Fishing Tours Blue Springs 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 Florida Kayak/Fishing Tours Blue Springs Orlando?
+
Around 2 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 Florida Kayak/Fishing Tours Blue Springs 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.
