About Blue Spring Adventures

Blue Spring Adventures in Orange City operates boat tours, kayak rentals, canoe rentals, and paddleboard rentals on the St. Johns River and at Blue Spring State Park, which serves as Florida's primary manatee refuge.

The facility also offers access to Hontoon Island Adventures, where guests can rent pontoons, jon boats, kayaks, canoes, and bicycles, stay in rustic cabins or primitive campsites, and use moorage slips with electric and water hookups. The spring maintains constant 72-degree waters that attract over 200 manatees seeking warmth and refuge.
