Manatee Boat Tours

Want to get up close and personal without having to wear water shoes? Our manatee boat tours have been a crowd favorite for years! For a nominal fee, these tours depart from the City Pier for a trip into Kings Bay and other favorite manatee hangouts, guided by experienced local captains.

What to expect from your tour!
