About
Join us on a river safari that begins on the famous spring fed Kings Bay and meanders down river to the Gulf of Mexico making detours along the way to explore some of the back country tributaries in search of wildlife.

As you set sail, you'll glide along the crystal clear waters of Kings Bay, surrounded by the lush greenery of the Crystal River Preserve State Park and the Kings Bay Manatee Refuge. Keep your eyes peeled for the gentle giants, the majestic Florida Manatees that make this area their home year round. These gentle creatures are always the stars of the show but there is so much more to see.

In addition to manatees, the Crystal River and its tributaries are home to a vast variety of other marine animals, such as dolphins, otters, turtles, and a wide variety of fish and birds. Your knowledgeable guide will provide fascinating information about the wildlife you encounter, as well as the history and ecology of the area.

Whether you're a nature lover, an adventure seeker, or simply seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, our boat tour of Kings Bay and the Crystal River promises an unforgettable experience that will leave you with memories to cherish. Come join us and discover the magic of Florida's hidden gem, where every journey is a voyage of discovery.
