This tour takes place on Kings Bay, located within Crystal River. You will have an experienced Captain guiding your tour and will perform a safety briefing once you have boarded our vessel. Please make sure to notify our crew of any health issues, swimming capabilities or other concerns prior to leaving dock. This better ensures your safety and comfort during your tour!

Remember that any attention you may receive from the manatees during your experience is at the choice of the manatee. If you receive extreme attention then please feel special because you are! Our manatees are wild animals and free roaming, every experience is different and relies entirely on the manatees themselves!
