Go for a date on the water
We didnt realize how busy Kings Bay would be in the summer figuring alot less manatee . The tour itself was very good. Tommy B shared information about the area, manatee and any wildlife we encountered. He also brought us into the calmer/quieter nooks and crannies of the bay to look for wildlife which was very nice. Overall the tour was five star, from the cleanliness and comfort of the boat to the captain. Being on the water was wonderful. For us personally we would like to come back in the winter vs summer for another tour.

Highly recommend this boat tour with Tommy B
10 out of 10 totally recommend taking this tour with Tommy B. Very nice boat very comfortable ride. Tommy B was very knowledgeable and a great host. I went with my friend and my 89-year-old mother. We got to see a lot more of Crystal River, Kings Bay and appreciate the natural beauty of that area. It is a special place and this is a great way to see it.

In search of Manatees
My wife and I had a great time on this tour. Tommy B. was very insightful and patient to help us find the manatees in the area. We got great videos and pictures of them. He also showed us some exotic birds in the area. We highly recommend his services.

Hanging with the manatees.
Captain Tommy was awesome. We know more about the manatees in Florida than we never knew before. It was a great trip. We look forward to doing it again soon!!!

Best Eco Tours in Crystal Rivers: King Bay Eco Tours!!
An exceptional five-star experience! Captain T. provided an informative, engaging, and highly effective tour. I arranged this excursion for my mother's birthday on a Saturday afternoon, and Captain T. demonstrated remarkable charm and attentiveness in addressing our inquiries. Despite it being a slow season, we were fortunate to observe several manatees and a variety of other wildlife. We look forward to our next engagement with Captain T.
