Great manatee tour boat ride with Captain Ang on a pontoon boat. My family booked the tour one day in advance and had the boat to ourselves! Great 1.5 hour tour. We saw lots of manatees and our Captain knew a lot about the homes and businesses along the Homosassa River. Great trip and worth the money.

Our first time on an airboat! Irish Dave was our captain! He did a great job and helped up find 3 Manatee and a bald eagle! Would definitely recommend and can't wait to do this again!

River Safaris & Gulf Charters was incorporated in 1982 but was in operation for about 4 years prior to that date. The river tour business was, in the beginning, simply set up to take people out to a restaurant called the Crow's Nest, located on an island at the mouth of the Homosassa River on the Gulf of Mexico. Even though the the restaurant has been closed for many years the river tour business has thrived on the Homosassa River. River Safaris went on to develop historically narrated tours, manatee swim and viewing trips, airboat rides and we have performed many marriages on our tour boats.
