What To Expect

Crystal River Preserve State Park

Enjoy a leisurely and professionally narrated boat tour on the 24-passenger vessel Monroe. Tour times are 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Your onboard naturalist will make learning fun while discussing the park's myriad historic cultural resources as well as the rare, spring-fed estuary that defines the Crystal River Preserve State Park and supports the abundant wildlife of the Gulf of Mexico. It’s common to hear the keening screech of a bald eagle, observe ospreys diving into the water for fish, and during low tide events, be entertained by an abundance of shorebirds foraging along the waterfront. Bottle-nosed dolphins are frequently sighted searching for their favorite meal of mullet.

We had a great tour. Saw several pairs of eagles, and of course manatees. Jeff was a great guide and was very knowledgeable.

The boat is very comfortable, and the seating makes it easy to view beautiful Kings Bay. Captain Wayne pointed out wildlife and explained the rich history of the area. We took our own coolers for light refreshment s, and the boat had built-in holders for cans/cups. Captain Wayne sent clear directions to the pier and prior to our trip. I highly recommend this pleasant excursion.

The manatees had left but it was a nice educational trip on the boat. Holly had a lot of knowledge about the area. Saw some eagles in the nest.
