This eco boat tour is an essential experience for nature enthusiasts, wildlife admirers, and even locals eager to showcase the “Real Florida” to their families. Crystal River is a distinctive town that balances between a tranquil fishing village and a wildlife sanctuary. Our local refuge is home to a variety of bird species and a unique spring-fed freshwater bay. The highlight is undoubtedly the manatees that reside in Crystal River!

While the number of manatees can vary daily, this tour is conducted by a USCG-certified Master Captain who is skilled in offering enjoyable and educational tours throughout the year.
