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 went to the designated boat dock and they told us the trip had been canceled because of weather. I’m disappointed that you didn’t notify us and we certainly demand our money back.

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.

Amazing experience so much history shared. I learned about the local past. The spots where we saw eagle nests and shell islands was so much fun. Great extra having the binoculars for us to use. Definitely looking forward to visiting more of Crystal river. My first solo day was very memorable.

Captain and First Mate are awesome Guides, presenting the rich history of the area and the wildlife native to the area! Even though Viator presented this as a Manatee Tour, I would recommend this tour for the history lesson, the boat ride, the trip to the Gulf and all the wildlife in between!

Had a lovely morning on the Crystal River. Our tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and pointed out birds, their nests, etc and background on the area. Saw many Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Pelicans and more. We even had two (2) dolphins running alongside a shortwhile. My husband topped it all when he spotted a small (3-5ft) alligator! As our captain came close it submerged and didn't spot again. Definitely would recommend.

Learned from this trip that the Crystal River lost her crystal water due to the 2023 hurricane flood. Wish the Mother Nature will recover this river back to the origin. Also learned from this trip that the Crystal River area was the southern end of the ancient tribes trading market beginning from the Mississippi River. However they were long gone before the European came.
