Q&A

Q: Can you reschedule the kayak rental if the weather looks bad?

A: Yes, you can reschedule your kayak rental if weather conditions aren't safe for paddling. Just give Guest Services a call or email them at least 24 hours in advance to change your booking. They'll work with you to find a time that fits! Keeping an eye on the weather beforehand is a good idea, especially for this area.

Q: What should we wear for kayaking at Blue Spring State Park?

A: I'd recommend wearing quick-dry clothes like a swimsuit or athletic gear. Bring some water shoes if you have them, since getting in and out of the kayak can get a bit wet. Sunscreen is a must too, along with a hat or sunglasses for sun protection, especially if you’re out there for a couple of hours!

Q: Is this kayak rental suitable for beginners? My gift is for my parents who have never kayaked before.

A: Definitely! Blue Spring State Park's kayak rental is perfect for beginners. The St. Johns River is calm, especially in the no wake zone, which makes it easy to paddle around and enjoy the wildlife. Plus, they provide a brief instructional session before you hit the water, so your parents will feel comfortable and safe.

Just did the kayak rental at Blue Spring State Park - Amazing!

I took my friends kayaking at Blue Spring State Park last weekend, and it was an incredible experience! The manatees were so cool to see up close, and the river was so peaceful. The two-hour rental felt just right, especially with all the time we spent taking pics of the wildlife! They provided everything we needed, even the life jackets and a map. Totally recommend it for anyone looking for a fun day out in Daytona Beach!

Thinking of gifting the kayak rental - any tips?

I'm looking to surprise my partner with a kayak rental at Blue Spring State Park for our anniversary. Any tips on the best time of year to go or what to bring? I want it to be special! Also, are the sunsets there worth it?
