The Kings Bay Sunset...

5.00The Kings Bay Sunset Cruise was such a lovely experience! Glenn was wonderful—so knowledgeable and such a great storyteller. He explained everything in a way that was both entertaining and easy to follow, and we found ourselves wishing we had more questions to ask because his answers were that good. We also had an extra friend join us last minute, and Glenn was kind enough to let them on (we paid of course). That thoughtful gesture really showed how kind and accommodating he is. Throughout the cruise, he shared fascinating stories about the manatees, the boats, and even his time as a crocodile wrestler. Between the stories, the views, and the atmosphere, it made the whole evening unforgettable. Highly recommend this cruise—100% worth it!
Sunsets and great conversation!

5.00The Captain shared facts and the area as he drove us are the bay. Our riders were low key which I loved because it let us enjoy the natural environment without distractions. We finally found a manatee and she had a newborn which was extra special. He also steered us by some newborn osprey at sunset. If you like a quiet evening on the water this is a good way.
Excellent experience!
