About

Our Sunset Cruises are the same as the Coastal Tours with the added bonus of ending by watching the beautiful Cedar Key sunset over the water.

The Sunset Cruise travels to the outer islands of the Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge. This scenic route often encounters dolphins and various birds, depending on the season of the year. Occasionally we will come across manatees, sea turtles, and even spotted eagle rays.

This trip is an excellent choice for those who wish to experience a balanced overview of Cedar Key history and the natural aspects of our rich and diverse ecosystem. The route and activities vary according to the season of the year and the weather conditions.

This is a 1½ to 2 hour Pet Friendly tour that departs multiple times throughout the week, weather and conditions permitting.
