Tour Boat
Loxahatchee Queen III of Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Hobe Sound, Florida
Explore one of Florida’s Federally and State designated “Wild and Scenic Rivers,” aboard the Loxahatchee Queen III, a 60-passenger or our Loxahatchee Queen II, a 22-passenger, Coast Guard-certified, stable and covered vessel.
Join people from around the world on our two hour tour as it meanders along the beautiful Loxahatchee River. Marvel at the hardwoods, ferns and century-old cypress trees as you wind along this ancient sub-tropical stream.
Manatee Spotted in the Loxahatchee River
Your adventure will be narrated by your licensed Captain as he relates the history and wildlife of the river. From the comfort and safety of your own individual armchair, view some of the state’s endangered and threatened wildlife. Often seen are Alligators and the West Indian Manatee. Frequently seen are various types of bird and animal life, such as Bald Eagles, Osprey, Great and Little Blue Herons, Egrets, Raccoons, Florida Peninsula Cooter Turtles and a variety of other species.

The length of the tour depends on the tidal conditions. Because the tour boat can only reach Trapper Nelson’s homestead during higher tides, we offer the River Tour and the Trapper Tour based on the tide.
- River Tour
The River Tour is a narrated journey as far up the Loxahatchee River as the captain can navigate during low tide. This tour lasts about 1 ½ hours.
- Trapper Tour
The Trapper tour is the same narrated journey up the Loxahatchee River, but with a brief stop and tour of the Trapper Nelson homestead—narrated by a park ranger. This tour lasts about 1 ¾ hours.
