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.

Definitely suggest doing this but not in morning when it’s cold. You get to go to Gulf of Mexico to see dolphins swim, then fun air boat ride hitting corners, definitely was worth the price package and was such a blast. The ride there and back was so much fun. The captain guy was super nice and let us go see whatever sites, chased the dolphins and drove the air boat fast.

What an awesome experience!! Irish Dave made the trip so exciting, he is knowledgeable about the marine life and he even turned around for us to see a pair of dolphins and a manatee. Thank you Irish Dave for a fun trip, we will book again with you.

Had a great air boat trip out with captain Irish Dave, knowledgable and could point out the wildlife with ease. We saw manatee and a shark out on the Gulf of Mexico. Will definitely request Irish Dave to take us out again

We had a great time with Capt. Irish Dave! He gave us tons of information on the ecosystem of the area and we were lucky enough to spot a couple of dolphins playing near the boat. Would highly recommend the airboat experience, especially with him at the helm!

What an amazing trip. We went on a private boat to scallop in the bay. Wow. We had no clue how fun it would be and also a great boat ride on the way to the gulf. River Safaris did great from our first phone call all the way through. Savannah at the front desk when we called was so helpful. Immediately we knew we wanted to use River Safari. Then arrival was very mellow and we met our captain and guide (Which I recommend using a guide, very helpful). Captain Melissa was fantastic and our guide Mike was in the mix with us collecting scallops and showing us how. It really is like finding easter eggs. It is not easy but very rewarding when you find one. A great trip and we want to come back. Thank you River Safari for a warm welcome to your neck of the woods/river/gulf.

My name is Amanda and I was visiting the area to see my dad. I live in Michigan. Our tour guide/boat captain Matt was super knowledgeable about the river, he even got a couple pods of dolphins to make an appearance!! Best.Day.Ever!!! My uncle and my 13 year old twins loved it too. The gift shop is awesome. My dad, Dennis the Menace had a ball. Thanks for such a memorable day!!

We did the airboat tour with Captain Irish Dave. What a great guy!! He will keep you laughing. The tour was great. We didn't see any dolphins but we did see manatees, bald eagles, a shark and several types of fish. Dave was very knowledgeable of the river and gulf area that we toured. Highly recommend Irish Dave for your tour!
