Led by one of our stellar Coast Guard-Certified Master Captains, this tour operates throughout the King's Bay Manatee Refuge, searching for manatees dwelling in their natural habitat. Enjoy your guided tour as your captain tells you about the local area and the captivating manatees that call this area home. Our residential Refuge provides a mixture of a quaint "Old Florida" setting while being the wintertime host of the largest natural aggregation of manatees in the world. Visiting in the summer? No problem! We have a residential population of manatees that call Crystal River home year-round. Please note that this is a true wildlife tour and, although our captain will do eveything poasible to make sure you have a great trip, conditions vary day-to-day and nothing is ever guarenteed with wild animals.
