Description

Avoid the cattle barges and enjoy a small group boat tour for the family and friends! We cater to private, intimate experiences so up to six passengers are allowed on our small-passenger vessel as we cruise King’s Bay and our residential Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge in search of wildlife. The unique freshwater ecosystem in King’s Bay features birds that swim and fish that fly! We have a variety of aquatic species, including both fresh and saltwater fish, occasional dolphin sightings, and of course, the amazing Florida Manatee! Looking into the sky and on our shoreline, one can spot any of our dozens of bird species, highlighted by ospreys, bald eagles, migratory ducks, and a variety of herons and egrets. Each of our small group ecotours is led by a licensed master captain who will ensure a great and informative adventure for your group!
