Weeki Wachee River

 Full Day Tour

 

You probably first heard about Weeki Wachee because of its famous commercial attraction, Weeki Wachee Spring. The famous underwater shows feature young women performing as mermaids. The performances are interesting, however, the spring and river are what makes Weeki Wachee truly special.  Weeki Wachee is a first magnitude spring discharging over 64 million gallons of crystal-clear water a day. Along the river an observant paddler will see many types of animals including the famous manatee, gators, raccoons, otters and numerous birds. It's easy to spot ibis, pelicans, herons, osprey, wood storks and cormorants.
