Top Crystal River Tours, Sightseeing & Cruises - page 4

A Florida-style underwater Easter egg hunt!! From July 1st - September 24th, Bay Scallops are the name of the game when it comes to the ultimate in family fun! Found in the shallow water grass beds of the Gulf of Mexico, these delicacies from the sea are the ultimate in harvest to table experiences. Like Discover Crystal River says, "It’s a fun family-friendly underwater adventure; all you need is a mask, snorkel, flippers, and one exceptional charter captain" that's where we come in! After a scenic 40-minute cruise to the scallop grounds, you'll don your masks, fins, and snorkels and grab a catch bag. (All provided in the cost of the charter.) Our in-water guide will get you started by pointing out these tasty morsels. Then it's off to the races snorkeling to collect your treasure. Once you’re back, you can even bring your catch to a local restaurant that will cook it for you. It’s a cherished local tradition and a Florida family favorite.

Love the water, but would rather stay dry? Join Manatees in Paradise as we explore the wonders of Florida's Nature Coast during our 1.5hr Eco Tour boat cruise. Captain Derek / Jake will guide you around the many springs throughout Crystal River & Kings Bay, for a scenic & informative cruise aboard our comfortable pontoon boats. You never know what wildlife awaits, so pack a cooler, gather your friends/family & come along! :)

Cruise down the Crystal River to admire the protected coastal marsh and marine estuary from the unique perspective of the water with this narrated boat tour, the only of its kind in the Crystal River Preserve State Park. Learn about the park’s history and ecosystem from your naturalist guide as you try to spot native wildlife like eagles, ospreys, and bottlenose dolphins from the comfort of your 24-passenger boat.

The only thing better than seeing manatees in the wild is actually jumping in the water and swimming alongside them. This private half-day Crystal River manatee snorkeling and boat trip tour gives travelers plenty of opportunities to encounter these fascinating creatures above and below the water. Your personal guide will also be on hand to take photos and videos, supply drinks and snacks, and ensure everything goes smoothly.

Enjoy fishing in one of Florida’s most underused ecosystems when you book a private charter boat in Crystal River. Spend your day out on the calm waters where you can enjoy nearshore, flats, or backcountry fishing depending on your preference and the weather. Cast your line for flounder, trout, redfish, grouper, snapper, and snook, depending on the season.
