ONE HOUR BOAT TOUR 

Relax, and enjoy a beautiful historical, wildlife, nature tour with The Living Water Boat Cruises on the famous Winter Haven Chain of Lakes. Our one hour boat tour departs from Harborside restaurant and will visit between three and four lakes. During your guided tour you will explore sightings of local wildlife; including alligators, otters, Blue Herons, Anhingas, White Ibis and more! You will also take in the sights of some breathtaking homes and learn the history of the famous Cypress Gardens while cruising by the old bridge where the southern bells once stood in times long past. This cruise option is perfect for those wanting to test the waters on one of our cruises, or for families with small children who do better with shorter durations.

Traveler Tips:

​

Summer Bookings (June to Aug) : We can experience extreme heat. As a result, our tours only run in the morning and later afternoon/evening hours.  The best time for wildlife sightings during the hotter months is early morning. We also recommend mornings during this time of year (June to August) as we will be in our rainy season.

​

Fall-Spring (Nov to Apr): This is our high season and it is not uncommon for us to sell out  up to two weeks in advance. It is  strongly recommended to book ahead during these months to ensure you get the date and time you desire. â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹

Most tours depart from Harborside restaurant 2435 7th St SW Winter Haven FL.  We do not have an office at this location. This is simply our main departure location. Please note: Your departure location may be different so always check the address given in your confirmation email.  The boat will arrive just prior to your scheduled departure.​ 

 Traveller Tip :
In the summer months book early morning tours to see the most wildlife and avoid the hotter temps. From May to the end of August rain is most likely in the afternoon so morning tours during this season are encouraged for the best experience and to avoid rain cancellations.
