Florida: The Nature Coast
Grab your paddle, mask & snorkel, and sense of adventure as we explore a part of Florida that takes a walk on the wild side. our Florida Manatee Tours take you to The Kings Bay National Wildlife Refuge, home to many species of animals including the largest congregation of manatees. Here fresh water underground springs flows into upland rivers and out into the salty Gulf of Mexico creating the perfect nutrient mix that sustains people with recreation, wildlife with habitat, and food for all that live here.
Fun guided outdoor activities like sea kayaking, snorkeling, pontoon rides, airboat rides, and forest hikes provide visitors with the real Florida experience and allow us to get up-close and on a first name basis with the critters of the Nature Coast including the friendly West Indian Manatee. Led by licensed and permitted local guides, you will learn passive observation so that you can have a fun, safe, and environmentally respectful encounter with a wild manatee.
