About Nature's Discovery
Nature's Discovery operates guided wildlife and snorkeling tours based in Crystal River, Florida, with direct access to King's Bay and the Crystal River Manatee Refuge. The company offers a range of experiences including private and semi-private manatee snorkeling tours, a classic snorkeling option with an in-water photographer, private eco cruises, and an afternoon eco boat tour. Each activity is led from Pete's Pier Marina or other authorized launch points and typically features USCG-certified Master Captains on private cruises.
Nature's Discovery emphasizes respectful wildlife viewing and adheres to refuge guidelines for observing Florida manatees in their natural habitat. Several snorkeling tours run three hours and offer complimentary photos during the May through November season, while shorter eco boat tours provide one-and-a-half-hour wildlife-focused excursions. The operator provides local knowledge of King’s Bay, safety briefing and snorkeling guidance, and options for in-water or on-boat photography depending on the selected tour. Booking options include private charters for families or groups and semi-private departures suitable for smaller parties. By focusing on conservation-minded practices, certified boat operation, and guided experiences tailored to nature observation, Nature's Discovery aims to create safe, educational, and memorable encounters with Florida’s manatees and coastal wildlife.
