Hillsborough River State Park Tours and Activities

A wood stork next to a great egret. These 2 appeared to be buddies standing right next to each other. I think this was a prime fishing platform. If you ever have the chance to float this river in a kayak make sure that you do it. The bird and reptile life along this river is amazing.
A white ibis family with adults and juveniles along with tri colored herons. I love the old mahogany trees that make the background habitat so beautiful.
A pair of Tri Colored Herons perched on a stump in the backwaters of the Hillsborough River.

Couldn’t have been happier with my stay. Staff was friendly, facilities were very good for the price and I got an upgrade to a nicer room. The only thing I didn’t enjoy had nothing to do with the resort. People feeling the need to smoke cigarettes and weed in the stairwell was selfish, disgusting and disrespectful to others.

Le bâtiment principal est super. La chambre est malheureusement un peu désuète. Le divan lit n'est pas confortable, le bain usé, l'air climatisé fait énormément de bruit.

The hotel is nice and convenient to universal studios. The rooms are clean but having to call housekeeping everyday to get your trash picked up or fresh towels was a hassle. One time no one answered and we had to walk down to the front desk to get someone. With kids this was a pain and the elevators were always out of commission everyday. Our last day we only had one working one that was delayed with everyone needing it.
