GROUP TOURS

Your group can enjoy a two hour tour at Big River Marina and Lodge. This is an excellent half day event.

For a full day event we recommend an afternoon visit to The Pioneer Settlement for the Creative Arts after your eco tour, only 15 minutes away, to complete your day.

Group Rate for a two hour eco tour with 21 passengers (minimum 15) is $25.00 per person, must be paid in one payment.

Learn about the History and Wildlife of Astor and The St. Johns River. Depart from historic Astor for a leisure boat tour to the many tributaries of the St. Johns River. Where you will experience exotic plant and wildlife steeped in history dating back to ancient Indian and Spanish civilizations. On your St. Johns River eco tour you will experience wildlife, alligators, bald eagles, manatees, and plant life, air plants, ferns, large cypress trees and much more, in their natural habitat. Learn the history of the River from the Indians to the European and American settlers. The role the river played in the Seminole Indian Wars and the civil war. Being close to Orlando and the Beaches allows for a day trip back into an area where it is Old Florida at its finest. After your 2 hour eco tour you can dine at one of our local restaurants (see area information) for lunch or dinner before you leave the area. You may also want to stay overnight or come back with friends to spend a weekend on the beautiful St Johns River. We like to say come out and enjoy a little river therapy!
