About

This tour is the perfect way to stay dry and view the wild manatees of the Kings Bay Wildlife Refuge.

Hop aboard our US Coast Guard certified vessel where you will join your Master Captain to embark on a journey into the Kings Bay refuge waters. On this tour, you and the group will join us for one of the most memorable experiences of a lifetime!

During this trip, we will search for our world-famous wild manatees that give Crystal River the title of “The Manatee Capital of the World.” There is also a chance to see many other species of birds, turtles, and even a dolphin every now and then so be on the lookout for the impressive variety of wildlife that calls the refuge “home”.

Please Note

This is a wildlife tour. While we do see manatees on every tour, we never use the word guarantee because Mother Nature reigns supreme. Conditions vary daily, tour by tour, and can never be predicted. Daily conditions vary seasonally with things like weather, tides, and crowds. You can always call us and ask us what conditions you can expect and will do our best to set your expectations. At the end of the day, we are dedicated to your experience and ensure we do our best to provide a safe, fun, and memorable trip!!
