What To Expect
Plantation Adventure Center
The scenic cruise is our one-hour dry tour of beautiful Kings Bay. You will cruise through the beautiful bay looking for wildlife while the captain points out the highlights of the area. During the cruise there is always the chance of seeing manatees, but it can never be guaranteed. These are wild animals in their natural habitat that come and go as they desire. Our tour boats are fully covered to protect you from the sun and rain. Besides manatees there is always a chance of seeing dolphins, otters, turtles, a variety of birds and fish. Every tour is unique!

5.00Today my husband and I took the 2:30, 1 hour tour. Our crew were capts Casey, and at the wheel, capt Michele. Had a wonderful time seeing the wildlife and points of interest. Casey shared all of the history, and answered every question asked of him. Both have a fun humor, and other mates were right there on the docks to assist docking and launching. It was a windy day, and they all showed great skill and experience. It was a fun time with no regrets!

4.00Was a little disappointed, had hoped to see Manatees, but as the Captain said, who was very knowledgeable about the area and had great anecdotes, Manatees are not in the Bay at this time But I do recommend the Cruise
Fun manatee tour

5.00Our captain and tour guide were phenomenal. You could tell that they enjoyed their jobs and were enthusiastic throughout our tour. Although we are locals, we learned some new information about King's Bay and saw some wildlife we had not seen before. Especially enjoyed seeing our first Wood Stork, and of course manatees.
