Afternoon Crystal River Ecological Boat Tour
This eco boat tour is a must-do activity for nature enthusiasts, wildlife lovers, and even locals who want to show their family the "Real Florida." Crystal River is a unique town which straddles the line between sleepy fishing town and wildlife haven. Our residential refuge features a variety of bird species and a unique spring-fed freshwater bay. The main event are certainly the manatees that call Crystal River home!
Though numbers of manatees vary day-to-day, this excursion is led by a USCG-certified Master Captain who is experienced in providing fun and educational tours year-round.
Note on weather: weather in Florida can be unpredictable and storms can move quickly. We never like to cancel tours but if inclement weather is likely to affect the quality of your experience, then we reserve the right to cancel the tour and refund your payment.
