Blackwater Joe’s offers some of the most scenic and relaxing river float trips in Okaloosa County. We’re located just outside Crestview with easy access to the Blackwater River—perfect for tubing, kayaking, and group floats.

Most river float trips last 2 to 4 hours depending on water levels and how long you want to float. Full-day float options are available for those looking to spend more time on the water.

At Blackwater Joe’s, river float trips start at just $15 per person for a tube rental, including shuttle service. We also offer kayak rentals and multi-day packages.

Yes! The section of the river we float has a slow current and shallow entry points, making it ideal for families with children. Life jackets are available and encouraged for all ages.

We recommend sunscreen, water shoes, a reusable water bottle, and a waterproof phone case. Don’t forget your hat, sunglasses, and a dry bag for valuables.
