Whether you’re looking for thrills or relaxation, come play in the pristine natural spring of Buccaneer Bay Waterpark. It offers five cool waterslides, including our thrilling flume ride, a sandy white beach, swimming, snorkeling, and Lil’ Mates Caribbean Cove water play area for your little ones.

If you’re more of an explorer, rent a kayak or a canoe from Weeki Fresh Water Adventures right here in Weeki Wachee Springs State Park. This leisurely 3-hour, 5.5-mile paddle down the clear, sparkling waters of the Weeki Wachee River is the perfect way to experience the park’s natural beauty and wildlife up close. During your journey, you may float right past the famous West Indian manatee, turtles and fish, pelicans and wood storks, and the occasional otter. Even if you’ve never paddled before, these calm waters along with the basic instruction you’ll receive will have you totally comfortable out on the river.
