        <p>It is not every day you step in a place that has 500 years of history. So as you plan a visit to the River City keep in mind not only do we have the largest urban park system in the nation, we also have some of the oldest historical sites as well... and with that I take you on a tour of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. This one takes the cake when it comes to things to do, see and learn.</p>

        <p>So close yet so far, that is how you feel onboard Jax Water Tours’ Sunset Cruise. You are only minutes away from the busy Jacksonville streets but you are miles away from the distractions of city life, you are in the middle of nature and loving every minute. It is a boat ride that connects you to a side of Jacksonville you wouldn't usually get a chance to see. </p>
