Rent the Tubes, and Park your vehicle. You may park at the park (if space is available or enjoy our complimentary parking available for our customers who rent 2 or more adult tubes while they last. Receive a parking decal & place on your dash (to avoid being towed), and put on your vehicle dash. Then walk along the sidewalk approx 1 mile (7-8 blocks) to the river. You'll be hot & ready to jump into the (year round) refreshing 72-74 degree river. In the Summer, Spring & Fall it's so refreshingly cool. In the Winter the river feels more like a hot spring on a cold day!
You can either wade in the water in the oasis with your toes & hiney (or whole body depending on your tube choice) in the water swimming area or get a lift upriver from your friend when you rent a paddleboard & tube combo & they take you upriver then release you or not (your choice). You'll both get a relaxing nature-filled day outside in the sun & water and coast back to where you started. Then swim a bit more, lay out in the sand or walk or swim over to The Upper Deck waterfront Restaurant or Bella Napoli Italian Restaurant for dinner.
Option A :
(when available):
This is a slow river & the current fluctuates. Depending on the current, it should be a leisurely, 2-3/hours slow coast downriver back to your starting point (if you choose the ride).
OPTION A:
Rent a couple of SUP's (stand up paddleboards), & some tubes. Then connect a couple of tubes behind you & let your friend/friends sit behind you on your paddleboard & paddle up river (just like the kayakers but better (bring your own hard cooler fill it with our ice and non alcoholic beverages & use it to sit or stand. This way you can see the manatees better & sit on your cooler as a stool when your feet get tired). Then some of you coast down river on the tubes & some of you paddleboard down river but all together.
OPTION B:
If you choose to wade & waddle in the swim area then enjoy the sun & fun with family & friends, play or lay in the small beach area, then swim across river and eat at the Upper Deck Restaurant. Please note: You will be sharing the river with kayakers, paddleboarders, boats and swimmers on this river. The tides are ever changing just as the weather. We are not responsible for inclement weather or tides/current. If you can not swim this is not a good sport for you. Paddleboards must have a life vest on their vessel. Children 6 and under are required to wear a life jacket on the river -It's the LAW. We recommend parking 1 vehicle here to save walking back a mile! +Many people stay all day in the river, wade in the water, layout in the sand. Then grab a bite to eat & drink from the Upper Deck waterfront Restaurant on the river. Relax and enjoy the manatees, birds and wildlife .
Return your Tubes, Paddleboard & bikes by 6pm sharp to avoid a $50.00 late fee.
No alcohol is permitted in the river, no touching the manatees. This is truly a relaxing and magical experience. It's so refreshing & relaxing!
