  Wow, what an unforgettable experience with Kings Bay Wildlife Eco Tours! 🤩 Gaby and Judge were excellent and very knowledgeable tour guides. We saw so many amazing creatures, it was like a real-life nature documentary! Swimming with gentle manatees was absolutely magical, and watching dolphins play in the waves was pure joy. 🐬 We got to experience the dolphin hunt for fish. Plus, we even spotted a huge alligator basking in the sun and a majestic bald eagle’s nest high up in the trees. 🦅 This tour is a must-do for any wildlife lover – definitely 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• So many manatees!

  We had the best day! Our captain, Joe with Nature Coast Manatee adventures, was laid back, yet extremely knowledgeable about the area and all the reclamation going on in the Bay. We saw over 30 manatee and truly enjoyed the peacefulness, even though there were many others enjoying it too.

• Great time.

  Our guide Judge was very informative and entertaining. He even tried coaxing a manatee closer for better pictures.

  This was a wonderful day in the water. This was the perfect way to explore the river and see manatees. This charter only holds about 6 people, which is ideal for a more personal experience. Our family of four enjoyed the tour with Judge. This is a wife and husband business and they take great pride is making the experience perfect for you. Skip the big companies and book with them for a true intimate touch. You will not regret it!

  We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Suncoast Scalloping. Cap’n Judge and Gaby were exceptionally knowledgeable, providing wonderful insight into the wildlife and history of Kings Bay. The pontoon was very comfortable, and the bimini top added to the overall enjoyment. We would gladly take this tour again. Thank you for your outstanding hospitality.

  We used Suncoast Scalloping for a sightseeing eco-boat tour around Kings Bay/Crystal River. The views were absolutely AMAZING! The crew Captain Judge and Gaby were very easy to talk to and made the tour very enjoyable! Their knowledge of the area provided us great views of the manatees and wildlife. We highly recommend taking an eco-boat tour with Suncoast Scalloping! We can't wait to go back! Thank you for the enjoyable experience!!

  I came to Crystal River with my mom and grandparents and we had such a great time on our eco tour! I have swam with the manatees before and absolutely love them, however my grandparents weren't too into the idea of actually swimming. So instead we chose to do an eco-tour and it was absolutely perfect! Even though it was still warm out and not quite manatee season Captain Judge still managed to find us a momma and baby manatee to see and they loved it! They all got to learn so much about the bay and we saw tons of birds and even a few small alligators. I'd definitely recommend choosing an eco tour if you don't want to actually swim and snorkel. You still get to boat around the bay and see plenty of wildlife!
