Private Eco Tour in Kings Bay Crystal River Florida

Overview

1 hour 30 minutes

Mobile ticket

Our objective is to provide a serene eco-tour experience on Kings Bay Crystal River Florida, offering opportunities to observe wildlife in its natural habitat while minimizing disruption and fostering appreciation for the creatures that inhabit Kings Bay. In the winter months, up to 1000 Floridian West Indian Manatees migrate to Kings Bay Crystal River Fl to seek refuge in its 72-degree spring-fed estuary. Our vessel accommodates up to six passengers. As an owner-operator business, I have been operating as a Manatee tour captain on Kings Bay since 2018. Having previously worked with prominent companies, I sought to establish my own business, focusing on smaller groups for a more personalized experience.

Amazing! We felt as though Tommy B. was an old friend. He was knowledgable, personable, easy to talk with. His boat was clean and mechanically sound. Great trip. Thank you again, Tommy B.

My mom and I had a wonderful time with Captain Tommy. We saw eagles, manatees and a baby, and dolphin. Tommy is an experienced captain with lots of local knowledge. Perfect way to spend the morning. Thank you Capt. Tommy!!

Tommy B is a fantastic, knowledgable captain/guide. We saw 2 bald eagles, manatees with a baby, dolphin, and turtles. Boat is well maintained and very comfortable. Tommy is familiar with the history of the area so you leave with a global picture of Crystal River.
Lovely boat tour!

Wonderful boat tour! We booked a tour as a family of three (Two Adults and a 3,5yo). Ended up being the only three guests on the boat. Tommy is super friendly and knows so much about the surroundings and the manatees. Even though it was not manatee season and they were very hard to spot, he managed to find them! Tour even took 2 hours instead of the 1,5 hour we booked. We had a great time on the boat! :) Definitely recommend! Thanks Tommy! If we ever head back during winter season we will come visit you again! ;)

I was recommended Tommy by Petes Pier. I was relieved when I heard he had experience with Autistic children since my daughter is on the autism spectrum. Also thought it was great when we asked if he could bring his dog with him on the boat the day we would be there and he was more than happy to bring him along. Really helped put my daughter at ease. Tommy was very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend Tommy and if you're a dog lover ask for Bandit to come along he is a wonderful dog. very sweet. Thank you Tommy for the wonderful experience.
Nice trip

Our guide Tom was very thoughtful and tried do max from 1 hour and 30 min trip. It was enough to see a lot of manatees and few of wild animals. This is a private tour and I would recommend to my friends.
