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!

Great boat trip with Aden and Brian as our guides. They answered lots of questions and found a bunch of manatee and birds for us!

Captain Ron and guide Aiden teamed beautifully to provide our group with a highly enjoyable tour today. Ron quietly displayed his knowledge of the local waters and expertly transported us to great viewing areas while Aiden both helped navigate and educated we tourists with his knowledge of the animals and environment. The duo gave us an excellent educational and fun afternoon tour!!!

Captain Brian was very knowledgeable. We were the only 2 on our excursion. He took us to wonderful areas to see all the manatees. He was also very knowledgeable about the islands in the water and the birds. He was also able to give us a lot of history about the areas.
