Mama & baby Manatee
You will be on the water immediately – traveling up the Crystal River and into King’s Bay. You will explore the nooks and crannies of the Wildlife Refuge with your Captains narrating along the way. Once in the bay, you will likely see numerous manatees and it could include a mama and her calf. The wildlife is everywhere. King’s Bay is created by springs providing millions of gallons of fresh water each day.
The Bay is one of a kind. It brings the manatees back year after year to enjoy the warm winters. We invite you to join us on a cruise, and your Captains will enlighten you with local history and lots of manatee trivia.
The beauty of the Gulf of Mexico shows off its colors during our Sunset Cruise. Watch the sky turn to red, yellow and orange as the sun disappears over the horizon.
