Great tour of the eco system and some great pics of the environment, homes surrounding the area and the manatees. Tommy is very knowledgeable of the area, especially finding the manatees for a photo op. His tours only consist of 6 customers which allows you to easily move around the boat
Our visitors really enjoyed the experience as we did as well. They learned a bit of this area and Manatees.
Great experience, easy check-in. Guide was extremely knowledgeable, talkative and friendly. Highly recommend and will book again
A great tour and our guide, Tommy, was very knowledgeable. The boat was in excellent condition and very comfortable.
We didnt realize how busy Kings Bay would be in the summer figuring alot less manatee . The tour itself was very good. Tommy B shared information about the area, manatee and any wildlife we encountered. He also brought us into the calmer/quieter nooks and crannies of the bay to look for wildlife which was very nice. Overall the tour was five star, from the cleanliness and comfort of the boat to the captain. Being on the water was wonderful. For us personally we would like to come back in the winter vs summer for another tour.
10 out of 10 totally recommend taking this tour with Tommy B. Very nice boat very comfortable ride. Tommy B was very knowledgeable and a great host. I went with my friend and my 89-year-old mother. We got to see a lot more of Crystal River, Kings Bay and appreciate the natural beauty of that area. It is a special place and this is a great way to see it.
Captain Tommy B was a fabulous guide. Very knowledgeable and nice guy all around. Would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a great time. Saw too many manatees to count. Loved the tour!
My wife and I had a great time on this tour. Tommy B. was very insightful and patient to help us find the manatees in the area. We got great videos and pictures of them. He also showed us some exotic birds in the area. We highly recommend his services.
Captain Tommy was awesome. We know more about the manatees in Florida than we never knew before. It was a great trip. We look forward to doing it again soon!!!
We had a wonderful day on Kings Bay. Tommy was the best guide and knew all the springs and birds. Manatees were always a great site.
An exceptional five-star experience! Captain T. provided an informative, engaging, and highly effective tour. I arranged this excursion for my mother's birthday on a Saturday afternoon, and Captain T. demonstrated remarkable charm and attentiveness in addressing our inquiries. Despite it being a slow season, we were fortunate to observe several manatees and a variety of other wildlife. We look forward to our next engagement with Captain T.
Excellent - Tommy is very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to beautiful spots pointing out wildlife.
Great guide. Knowledgeable about the river and area. Many Manatee sightings. Beautiful surroundings.
Tommy B met us on time. His boat was clean, comfortable and new. He has a shade that was something I looked for. We saw many manatees, a good size gator and Osprey nests. We learned about the Bay and the area. Tommy was knowledgeable and his tour was organized. In addition my husband misplaced his phone and Tommy quickly spotted where he had left it on the dock. It was a comfortable and fun afternoon. Thanks, Tommy!
Accommodating and Knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our tour!
This eco tour was great. Tommy is a fantastic captain. Knowledgeable, answered all our questions.
Amazing trip. Guide is very passionate and knowledgeable. Eco tour is a great way to see Kings Bay
Best ever!! Throughly enjoyed this tour
He has a brand new boat and only takes a maximum of six people. He is very experienced and will make sure you have an outstanding experience.
Johnny B was amazing; knowledgeable, funny, and charming. The boat was beautiful and clean and very comfortable. If you want to see manatees, you will definitely do it on this excursion. However, the river is very crowded with lots of tourist, snorkeling, diving, etc. (in was a weekend though) I was expecting to see a little more of the river. We just did a circle around the bay. But all in all, it was a good time and if you wanna see manatees, Johnny B’s gotcha.
We thoroughly enjoyed this fun, educational tour with Tommy B. We saw over a dozen manatee even though we were worried it was too late in the season. Also saw a couple alligators and two pair of bald eagles. You can tell he enjoys what he does and his enthusiasm spills over into the information he shares. His boat was clean and comfortable - would definitely recommend his tour!
Tommy B. Was phenomenal. Besides being very knowledgeable about the manatees and other wildlife, he was very personable, professionally and humorous. Tommy truly was a wonderful tour guide and captain. We wish we could give him more stars!
Excellent experience. We were the first to have a tour on the new boat! Tommy was so understanding and compassionate with my aunt, who is in a wheelchair, and needed a little extra assistance.
Capt Tommy was extremely knowledgeable about the entire ecosystem of the area. He took us to see many osprey and other birds, many manatees. He explained their habits while demonstrating the relationship between a mother and its calf. He was also able to answer all of our questions. It was exactly the kind of experience we were looking for1 - Great stable boat with good seating. No crowd just us and another couple. We would highly recomment his tours!
My wife and I enjoyed this very much. Captain Tom was very knowledgeable about the area, marine life and history. He answered all of our questions and gave us several opportunities to take pictures of alligators, manatees, and a nesting osprey with her two chicks. Would definitely recommend!
Captain Tom knows how to spot manatees. He is very knowledgeable about the estuary.
Excellent! Tommy was very knowledgeable on the area’s manatees and other local wildlife. He knew where to take us to see alligator, manatees, bird nests and we caught a pair of dolphins using a “mud ring” to catch fish, saw eagles too. He was professional, friendly /sociable. He was safety conscious and aware too. Great outing!!
If you love nature and the small group setting this is a tour for you and your group. The boat had shade over head and clean comfy seats
Capt. Tommy was great. Informational and personable. Very much enjoyed the maximum 6 excursion. Highly recommend!
We loved our tour with Tommy! He is so knowledgeable not only about the local wildlife, but the area as well. The small group/private tour vibe was what we were looking for and this did not disappoint! I highly recommend booking this tour with Tommy!
Awesome experience! Got to see lots of critters! Including baby osprey, manatees, turtle and dolphins!
Tommy B was friendly and knowledgable, he knew all the best spots to go! we had a great small group tour versus the larger boats on the water- highly recommend and will be back!
Had our tour with Tommy today and it was the best experience ever - that man is a wealth of knowledge - thank you Tommy.
Interesting trip, well informed guide. Great communication. Lots to see. Recommend this trip (with only 6 or so guests) over larger boats.
The Kings Bay Eco Boat Tour was great. Just the right amount of time and very interesting. Our guide Tom, who is the boat owner, was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He was interesting to listen to and engaging. Highly recommend him and this adventure on Kings Bay.
Captain Tommy never disappoints! Great trip for the kids and adults. Knows the fish, mammals, birds, and Bay history. Can't wait ti try your new bots in April!
Capt. Tommy was the best. Very informative and able to spot lots of different creatures. Book with confidence!!
Tour with Tommy B, had a great time. Very informative and worked hard to make sure we saw a lot of Manatee and even same gators.
We had a fantastic tour with Tommy B. He was knowledgeable, considerate, fun and accommodating. We saw all the wildlife we wanted to see: manatees, alligators, osprey, bald eagles and turtles. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the boat and Tommy B took us to some of his favorite spots. It was the perfect amount of time to be on the water. We highly recommend this tour!
Such a great tour! It was so cold, which meant lots of manatees, but really cold children. Lucky for us Tommy had extra blankets. He took us to many different areas and shared lots of knowledge of the area and the wildlife. A really great time had by all.
Very knowledgeable guide and friendly. We saw so many manatees and other wildlife. Great experience. 10/10 recommend and would go again.
Tommy's tour was fun, informative and relaxing! We loved the eco tour! He knew how to spot the manatee and where the wildlife liked to hang out! We we're within feet of an Osprey nest! I would rate this tour 5+ and will book again when in the area!! WE LOVED THIS TOUR!!
Sunglasses are needed. Wear sunscreen if your skin is sensitive to the sun, even though the boat has a canopy the sun comes in at an angle. It was easy to get on and off the boat. Tommy was an awesome guide. Great knowledge and very friendly. The experience was very laid back and relaxing to me. He doesn’t over crowd the boat so there was room to turn around.
We had a fabulous tour this morning with Tommy B and got to bring our 2 dogs with us. We saw lots of birds, including nesting osprey and an eagle. We saw many manatees including a mother a baby. Tommy is very knowledgeable and we enjoyed talking to him. We’ll definitely do this again the next time we’re in this area.
Fantastic! Tommy B is excellent.
Be sure to take an early tour to improve your chances of seeing manatees. The tour guide, Tommy, even had blankets to keep you comfortable!
Best day ever! Tommy is very knowledgeable about the manatees as he maneuvers around these gentle giants and other visitors. We had many up close encounters with memories for a lifetime!! Definitely recommend!!
Capt. Tommy was so much fun! He's very knowledgeable about manatee, eco system, and so much more. We couldn't have asked for a better time on the water. Don't miss your chance to hang with a great guide and the beauty of Kings Bay at Petes pier! This was absolutely on of the best days we've had. Huge thanks to Tommy!
Tommy was very knowledgeable of the area and manatee habits. He knew exactly where to find the manatee and we saw lots of them. We also saw a bald eagle! Tommy is well liked among fellow tour guides as all were eager to say high on the water and ask about where the manatee were this day. Great weather and great trip! Thanks Tommy.
