By far, our favorite vlog...it is so nice to see natural Florida. We've been to Crystal River in winter, but did not see anywhere close to this many manatees. Thank you Jenna and Dale!

We drove out to this park on Labor Day weekend. Made a boat ride reservation so we were able to get into the park. Thanks again for this vlog… it’s the reason we went!! My kids loved it!

[@LindseyCook1992]

LOVE seeing the Manatees! There is a great place in Crystal River/Homosassa Springs, too that is also so beautiful to see the manatees! So glad you got to see them! They are amazing creatures.

[@cheryleann6394]

Icktucknee river is a nice place to visit. You may be able to see river otters. There are many places like this in Florida. It's like being in a whole different world. Just beautiful. Thanks for taking us along!

[@adventuresofjennaanddale]

Thank you so much! Wasn’t the baby so cute! And Aw thank you you 🐶💕

[@allikatz]

This was so cool. I can’t wait to watch it over again with my daughter when she gets home from school. She will LOVE this!! Definitely on a list for a future visit! 😊

[@adventuresofjennaanddale]

Aw yay! I hope your daughter enjoys it too! Thank you so much for watching 😁🎉

[@GAN-0]

Such a beautiful place and I’m so happy you got up early for US! 😉. I lived in the area about 30 years ago and always loved visiting. Back then they allowed you to go into the spring if the manatee were in ..they had a strict rule not to approach them, but if they came up to you they might gently make contact and that was fine. That was pretty common and quite an experience 🥰. Thank you for sharing and I hope some viewers who are able make a donation to Save the Manatee… a great cause!

[@josephbritt6890]

Cool show 🌊 🛶 🌴. Disney movie called UP

[@martym61]

Awesome vlog. Thanks for filming this.

[@nikkitobin527]

Oh wow that is super early to see the manatees! They’re so cute though, I loved seeing the baby manatee! Thanks for the great video! 😊💖

[@magicalcelebrations8670]

This has been a bucket list item for us and I was so excited when I saw your vlog announced! I so enjoyed the video and can't wait to visit Blue Spring in an upcoming winter. Thanks for sharing this!! 🤗

[@beachclub0375]

Loved seeing this! My son watches the live cam. Can’t wait for him to watch your video later! 😊

[@adventuresofjennaanddale]

Oh wow that’s so cool! Hope he enjoys the vlog too 😁🎉

[@persephn4244]

This was one of the places I was going to request you go at some point... I love manatees! Thank you so much!

[@kayatwood5183]

Such a cool way to spend the day.

[@mainstreet626]

"The wilderness must be explored" -Russell Loved the State Park. It is now on my bucket list. One of my favorite parts of Sea World is always to see the manatees. Heading to the Blue Spring State Park KZbin page now.

[@DouglasJMark]

What a wonderful park. I found the live stream camera too. Will share with my family and friends too. Lotsa love to all ❤❤❤

Really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing!

[@dadresorttv1180]

WooHoo

[@adventuresofjennaanddale]

Yay! 😁🎉

[@artsluvr1]

Visited Blue Springs in 2007. It has remained one of my fondest memories from Florida. We were there in February and saw manatees, gush and alligators. I remember the house but not the shopping/eatery area, must be more recent. Thanks for sharing

[@Happster1]

Yes!! This is on our must-do list. Hoping we can get there over the next few weekends to see some manatees. Love it! And thanks for the tips about getting there early, I would not have known otherwise! ❤😊

[@disneyee7643]

Loved this!

[@Feldsteinfamily]

Great video. Love animals.

[@indyanna1423]

Very nice! Haven't been there in years. Time to take the grandkids.

[@stacythompson5795]

Thank u so very much Jenna and Dale for this wonderful video❤️ I so want to see a manatee someday, especially the babies😮 I am from back west so I have never seen them. I have to convince my hubby though because he doesn’t ever want to see a alligator. I showed him the wooden walkways you were on, but he just isn’t sure about going out in the wilderness of Florida. Absolutely love seeing your adventures around Florida!

[@handmadeheartears]

Such a lovely relaxing vlog and great to checkout somewhere new and fun! Was so cool to see the clear waters and those Manatees! Definitely putting this on my list, thanks for the recommendation Jenna & Dale 🥰 (And as always, SO great to see Chloe! 💖)

[@adventuresofjennaanddale]

Thank you so much Kayleigh!! So glad you enjoyed and glad you made it for the premiere! Hope your WiFi is working better 😁💕

[@handmadeheartears]

@@adventuresofjennaanddale It is thank you! I knew it came back on when I had gotten the notification a little after 5pm for the premiere! 😅

[@aLy0op]

I thought I commented but now I can't find it so I'll post again. Thank you for this video!! I never knew about this and it's so close to Orlando. It ended up leading us down an afternoon of researching a bunch of state parks around the area to visit so thank you!

[@debmoye1985]

Definitely going on the list!

[@cherylgreene2252]

Beautiful video,I collect manatees from fl. Every year always wanted to go to Blue springs.

[@donnamcduffie8457]

Thank you! Amazing place, great video. So nice to be able to see! I'll have to check out those cameras you mentioned. 😍💕

[@natisha200]

I love these vlogs

[@jenimmordino1666]

I would love to go there someday :) 😀

[@adventuresofjennaanddale]

It’s so amazing! Definitely recommend it 😁🎉

[@wendyb457]

Loved this trip! Thank you for sharing. We used to Glamp in several FL state parks and the spring parks were always amongst our favorites. And any parks with boardwalk trails too. I like nature, but I also have a healthy respect for it 🤣. Some of our favorites were Silver Springs, Ichetucknee Springs (pronounced Itch A Tuck Knee), Homosassa and Wakulla. Homosassa has a beautiful historical lodge there as well. Creature from the Black Lagoon filmed there too. Florida State Parks are some of the best in the country. Hope you get a chance to explore more. And you could do weekend trips as many have cabins to rent. Often affordable and you can go with friends and split the cost. It’s so fun! Take a crock pot, picnic food and wine. You’re all set! Not Spring related but you might look into Fargo State Park just over the FL state line if you want an awesome alligator experience. They have great cabins and you can rent a John boat on the cheap and drive out into the swamp and see tons of alligators. Sadly, after the major fire about a decade or 2 ago, the landscape is not as lush as it once was, but it’s coming back. It’s still an amazing experience. So many gators! If you ever want to know about Georgia Coast state parks, let me know. I know some good ones. 😉. With cabins! Not even kidding.

[@bec.11]

That water looks divine makes you want to jump in lol and it's hot 🔥 🥵 here in Australia 😁 definitely put that on the list to visit 👌 🇦🇺🙋‍♀️

[@nicoleddisney6761]

Great vlog. Would love to visit the park. Hi Chloe ❤️

[@TeamOSullivan]

Thanks for sharing this, what a wonderful place to visit. You are giving us lots of ideas for our 2024 trip. X

[@MissDisneyFan908]

I've never been here before definitely wanna check it out sometime.

[@eric_in_florida]

Wow so many manatees! We'll get a couple here and there out my way but never groups like that.

[@SandraLovesSun]

Loved the video! I like the bonus material at the end! My thoughts for a trip: De Leon Springs - there is a restaurant at the Springs that is a mill and you make pancakes at your own table on the griddle built into the table! There is tubing there. It's just a little further north of you.

[@blaqueknite22]

Of course it was Disney, Dale! That was Russell from Up, he’s a wilderness explorer.

[@bridgetkorns8174]

I love going on adventures with you guys. Boy Jenna looks amazing. Did she change her makeup. What is her secret?

[@lesliecrenshaw]

Hey Jenna and dale

[@janasheets890]

Is your fur baby a Cavachon? And how do you keep her tear stains away!!!

[@lisawinstead9374]

How can tell male from female

[@adventuresofjennaanddale]

I’m not actually sure

[@Bittyabitme]

Loved this so much! The baby and momma manatees were so cute! It’s amazing to see so many! Thank you for getting up early and exploring for us!! Also bonus points for the festival!

[@JenniferA2027]

This was so cool!! Can’t wait to move to Florida to get to see all these amazing areas. Love seeing this kind of content. Can’t wait to see what you guys check out next! And the reference was the Wilderness Explorers from the movie Up and from the activity at Animal Kingdom! 🦜🐈

[@Bittyabitme]

Also, I would totally love to just go window shopping at a mall with you Jenna. I feel like that would be fun.
