Embark on an adventure-filled day with a scenic cruise along the St. Lucie River. River Lily Cruises takes you on a 90-minute tour, where you can spot alligators, manatees, and various bird species. Marvel at the lush mangrove wetlands as you glide past them. The knowledgeable captain and crew will provide informative commentary throughout the tour. Don't forget your camera as you might spot wildlife on the riverbank.
Next, head to Savannas Preserve State Park for some hiking and wildlife viewing. The 7,000-acre park features several trails that wind through freshwater marshes and pine flatwoods. Don't miss the 50-foot observation tower that offers panoramic views of the park and surrounding areas. The park is also home to several endangered species, including the Florida Scrub-Jay and the gopher tortoise.
Get your adrenaline pumping with a visit to TreeTop Adventures, an aerial adventure park. The park features various aerial obstacles, including zip lines, rope bridges, and climbing walls, all set among the trees. The courses are designed for different difficulty levels, so there's something for everyone, whether you're a beginner or a pro. Safety is a top priority here, and all equipment is provided. Remember to wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing.
Start your second day with a trip to the Sunrise Theater, an art-deco theater that hosts various shows and performances. Take a tour of the theater and admire its unique architecture and history. Check the theater's schedule to see what shows or events are happening during your visit and book your tickets in advance to avoid missing out.
Next, head to Treasure Coast Seaplanes for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Take a seaplane tour and soar above the beautiful Treasure Coast. Admire the stunning views of the coastline, lagoons, and estuaries as you glide above them. The experienced and knowledgeable pilots will provide commentary throughout the tour and answer any questions you may have. This is a unique way to see the beauty of Port St. Lucie from above.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the Heathcote Botanical Gardens to see a variety of flora and fauna. Alternatively, you can spend a day at the beach and relax by the ocean. If you have less time, consider skipping TreeTop Adventures, although it offers a unique experience, it requires more time commitment compared to other activities. It is a good idea to book tickets and reserve your spot for activities in advance to avoid waiting in long lines.
