Last week we used a voucher from Groupon and went on the Blue Heron River tour up the St.Johns River from Deland. I must say this was the best river tour we have ever been on giving an insight into a Florida many visitors do not see. The tour was a good 2 hours long with a Captain who was very informative and with a wealth of knowledge of the river and the wildlife who live on the St.Johns and also on the Hontoon Dead River. We saw masses of wild life including Bald Eagle, Hawks, gator, manatee, deer and loads of other birds etc.,
I can highly recommend this tour and at a normal cost of $22 for adults and $16 for children it is brilliant value. About 35 miles from Orlando and about 25 from Daytona.
