Manatee tours

Every tour is a small boat, never more than six guests, leaving from our private docks on the Homosassa River, a few miles south of Crystal River. Share a boat with a few other guests, or book the whole boat for your group.

Not sure which time?

They're all good. Our tour times are set for you, not the manatees.

Five or six in your group?

Shared means you're reserving seats. Compare the 3 Hour Private Boat. It's often close in price, and the whole boat is yours.
