The most beautiful river cruise in the St. Johns River valley!

Your Blue Heron River Tour is a front row ticket to the world of nature.  Our custom built vessel, "Great Blue", was designed to cruise the quiet and shallow back-water areas where wildlife viewing is best. Hontoon offers...18 Riverside rooms and suites, pontoon and fishing boat rental, slips for private boats.  Ship's store and pool, guests meeting room, free wireless internet and a hummingbird garden with lots of hummingbirds. 

The interactive narrative supplied by our Coast Guard Licensed Captains offers an insight into the fragile beauty of the St. Johns River and the Hontoon Dead River.

Following in the wake of John Bartram, John James Audubon and Winslow Homer, your Blue Heron River Cruise will provide frequent stops for wildlife viewing and photography, discussions of river history and human environmental impact, and a full two-hour immersion in the magnificent splendor of the St. Johns River Valley.
