Join us as we spend another day exploring Florida's Nature Coast. In this video, we'll be your Florida travel guides at the Weeki Wachee State Park.  We'll give you a tour of the top attractions that the park has to water, including a nature trail, animal exhibits, water park, and of course the world-famous Wiki Wachee Mermaids. 

Along the way, we'll provide you with some historical information on the Weeki Wachee Mermaids, the Weeki Wachee State Park, and what you can do to help preserve the delicate springs ecosystem. Stay tuned to the end as we take you to another great local brewery, and cap off the day with yet another waterfront tiki bar sunset.

  • Did you know there are REAL mermaids in Florida? Fun Fact: The mermaids use a patented hose system to breath underwater. In order to stay floating in one spot the mermaids must to hold the right amount of air in their bodies. Thanks so much for watching , we really appreciate it :) If you want to catch up on this series you can watch our Nature Coast Trip from the beginning here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOT_jgQ5dAKwdm2hWC4OfvL…
  • Wow I’ve never seen a baby peacock before! How cute! The mermaid show looked so unique. I’ve never seen anyone eating under water Very cool! That spring water looks so beautiful!
  • How unique is a mermaid show! It’s so cool! Any little girl (or grown up girl’s) dream 😁 The colour of the spring water is beautiful and looks like you had so much fun swimming and snorkelling. Your food looked delicious! The brewery looked amazing, I must say, the beers that you guys try at all these breweries are always so different and unique. What a way to end the day at Sam’s beach bar 🥰
  • What a great day, holding a baby peacock is pretty unique and Frank/Frankie was super cute. Love the mermaid show, you guys looked inspired by them with all your underwater swimming in the springs too😊
  • What a perfect end to the day getting that sunset spot at Sams just in time!🌅
  • Ohh look at that baby peacock! Crazy, I had no idea that there would be a mermaid show in the US, now I want to see it too! Beautiful dinner place again. Love how you can hang with pets at the bar! lol
  • Ahhh the baby peacock is sooooo cute! The mermaid show looks pretty cool, definitely not something we've seen anywhere before. The water is soooo turquoise and clear, would love to go for a swim there. Dinner and tiki bar to end the night off sounds great!
  • I had no idea Florida had so many springs! Very cool! So many concentrated in the north of Florida. That mermaid show looked super unique! Pretty amazing they were able to stay underwater for so long with just breathing through a tube every once in a while
  • High Springs north to the Gainesville area has some awesome springs in that general area.
  • Weeki Wachee is such a fun area! Love the mermaids! Such a classic Florida tourist area! -S
  • I have met many more professional mermaids than most people. It’s a South Florida thing. But these were the first, decades ago, and the only ones I’ve come across who breathe underwater. Next time I want to swim there. Looks like a lot of fun.
  • That's Cool place - planning a birding trip there soon !! Thanks for sharing!
  • Yessss ive been here! It’s SO fun & the mermaid show was 👌🏼 10/10 recommend!
  • It looks like such a pretty area! I have never seen a mermaid show before - that is pretty unique. I would love to see that. My husband isn't really interested in swimming, but the spring looked like a great spot for it. He would definitely be interested in the tiki bar though. The scallop and shrimp skewers looked incredible!! I also have a weakness for onion rings. So yummy. That habanero beer sounded really interesting. What a great day!
  • Just flew in for two weeks in the Tampa area, may run up there
  • Hey guys...looks like a really nice spot to visit...I don't think we have any mermaid shows in Australia, so would be a nice unique experience to see. Nice capture with the peacock, it's not often you get to see the tail up and vibrating for attention. I've seen it a couple of times here, but not enough. Last year I saw a few beside the road in the outback....not where I thought I would see them. The swimming looked cool... but sounded cold...I was in 43 degree waters only last week... that's in Celsius and so hot. It was really refreshing and those videos are to come. Once again finding more tiki bars and some awesome looking good... ended up being a great day for you. Thanks so much for sharing 👍😜
