Enjoyable cruise around Kings Bay. - We have been visiting this area for many years and planned on a scenic and relaxing ride. The trip exceeded our expectations. We learned so much more about the springs, wildlife and landmarks. The guide was informative and extremely funny.

Fun day on the water - The cruise started on time and the crew was very helpful and knowledgeable. The crew were able to point out the manatees and provide education about them and the surrounding area. The captain was very kind and allowed the 2 toddlers a chance to steer the ship. Fun was had by all.

It was enjoyable and the... - It was enjoyable and the guide and captain did enhance the experience HOWEVER please have them tell passengers to remain seated or at least NOT stand in a group at the front of the boat. They rudely blocked our view as we were seated in front BUT they stood in front of us. Thank you.

Friendly staff, Murky Water - The captain and co-captain and friendly and knowledgeable. You’ll likely see a manatee but the water is VERY murky due to a loss of grasses from the hurricanes in 2024.
