Pontoon Tours
Our pontoon tours are a great way to get outside and enjoy our waters by boat. Come and experience the natural beauty of Florida's coastal and freshwater marshes. Bring your camera because on our guided boat trips you’ll get a chance to spot local wildlife such as manatees, ospreys, bald eagles, alligator, wild hog, anhingas and otters. Our tours allow you to see the best of the Nature Coast and enjoy Old Florida from the comfort of a boat.
Pets are no longer allowed on Pontoon Tours but always welcome on Kayak Rentals (Does not include paddle boards, clear kayaks, or kayak tours).
The best possible time to observe & swim with our manatees is on the mornings of the coldest days. The cooler air temperatures drop the water temps in the Gulf of Mexico, encouraging manatees to seek refuge in the warmer springs of Kings Bay.
