About this activity

Our tours stand out as a unique experience in Crystal River. Aboard the 24-passenger vessel, Monroe, our knowledgeable naturalists provide engaging narrations about the park’s rich history, cultural resources, and the spring-fed estuary that nurtures the Gulf of Mexico’s wildlife.

You can see a variety of wildlife, including bald eagles, ospreys, shorebirds, bottle-nosed dolphins, and the elusive manatee.

Join us for a magical Sunset Tour on Tuesdays and Thursdays to witness the sky paint itself with the colors of the sunset over Crystal River.

The best way to experience the beauty and biodiversity of the park is by boat. Welcome aboard!
