Crystal and Capt Moe gave us the best tour! It was my birthday and my hubby just broke his wrist. Crystal was so great at making this experience still so memorable for me. I bought the bday package. I loved the card personalized by everyone!! I will treasure it forever!! Everything was great. We saw so many manatees. A baby nurse on momma. So many fish and turtles. GO ON A TOUR HERE AND WITH CRYSTAL AND CAPT MOE. Capt Moe kept my hubby company. Just an outstanding adventure. Thank you everyone.

With so much wildlife to enjoy, the Nature Coast beckons you to explore! Our Eco-tour will enlighten the wildlife enthusiast, amateur photographer, birdwatcher and every individual in between! Grab your binoculars and join us for an eco-journey to take in the sparkling springs and the calming river. Kings Bay is the second largest spring system in Florida, which is fed by dozens of fresh water springs spitting out more than 280 million gallons of fresh water daily! The bay serves as the head waters for the Crystal River and is extremely unique and incredibly important to each animal species that depend on it for survival. Wading birds, waterfowl, black crowned night herons, wood storks, bald eagles, brown and white pelicans, osprey, red-tailed hawks, and of course the endangered manatee are just some of many animals that depend on this ecosystem to sustain themselves! Your Captain and Mother Nature will team up to ensure the most unforgettable, awe-inspiring time possible!

Captain Garrett provided us with an awesome tour including seeing loads of Manatees and lots of local stories. Try to book a tour with him!!

We saw many manatees, birds and beautiful scenery. Captain Garrett even loaned me his polarized sunglasses to see the manatees better. He made great conversation, telling us about the area and the environmental effects humans and boats have on the manatees. It was informative and educational. He was very kind to our 4 year old grandson (who had lots to say and many questions). Exceptional captain. We will come back.

The people that work there are very friendly and accommodating, and really work hard to make sure you see the manatees. Weighed the captain and Steve the first mate made the experience memorable.

Amazing!! What an experience!!! Shout-out to Piper and JJ who made sure we had a great time. We had the semi-private tour, totally worth it. You have a lot of space on the boat, beverages, snacks... JJ as a captain was amazing and making sure we could see them and that we were enjoying everything, Piper as a water guide was incredible. She was all the time helping us see them, making sure we all got turns seeing them without disturbing them, she made sure we had the best experience. You both made our day! We will be back.
