Wonderful Outing on Kings Bay - I cannot recommend the Eco Tour with Tommy B enough. It was a perfect 1 1/2-to-2 hour relaxing and educational outing on King's Bay. We had about a half-dozen sighting of manatee and even spotted a couple of dolphins. We were instructed on all the natural and manmade features of the bay We enjoyed very good company with Tommy B. and will long remember this trip!

100 out of 100 … DO THIS!! - You NEED to book Captain Tommy B for your manatee excursion at Crystal River. Tommy was fantastic on a day when other companies told us to not go out due to weather and limited visibility. Tommy not only found us a number of manatees, but also educated us on the bay. We were so excited to see a manatee barrel roll right in front of us. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable Eco-Tour with Tommy B! - We had an absolutely incredible experience with Tommy B Boating in Crystal River! Our eco-tour was scheduled for 1.5 hours but ended up lasting a full 2 hours—and every minute was worth it. Tommy took us to all the local springs where the manatees love to hang out! The boat itself was a huge bonus—an immaculate and extremely comfortable pontoon boat that made the ride smooth and relaxing. It was clear that a lot of care goes into maintaining it, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. What really made the tour stand out was Tommy himself. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the area, especially the history of King’s Bay, and his friendly, laid-back vibe made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for an authentic, informative, and relaxing boat tour in Crystal River, look no further. Highly recommend!
