A visit to Bellingrath Gardens and Home is not complete without a 45 minute cruise aboard the Southern Belle River Cruiser. Departing from Bellingrath Gardens between March and November, the river cruise offers visitors a relaxing and educational tour along the Fowl River. Unique wildlife and birding habitats can be witnessed on the river, as well as a wonderful view of the Bellingrath Home. All cruises are weather permitting.
