—THE DRY WAY ONTO THE WATER

A quiet cruise through Kings Bay.

Prefer to stay dry? Cruise through Kings Bay with a knowledgeable local captain while looking for wild manatees, birds, turtles, and other native wildlife. The tour is limited to six guests, so it stays comfortable and personal.

Kings Bay spans roughly 588 acres and is home to manatees, birds, turtles, fish, and the occasional dolphin. This is the water that earned Crystal River its name as the Manatee Capital of the World. Sightings, routes, and conditions vary, which is what makes every outing its own.
