Itinerary

Admission included60 min

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!

This was a last minute...

This was a last minute stop on our first day of vacation and it was well worth the stop. We saw a few manatees and many different birds. I saw an eagle for the first time. The staff were very knowledgable and answered my many questions.
