This cruise tours the Anclote River while our Florida Master Naturalist teaches you about the history of the area and helps you enjoy the local wildlife while looking for dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, exotic birds, and more.

For your pleasure, they offer cold beverages including soft drinks, beer, wine and margaritas on board. You are welcome to bring food on board, but no drinks or coolers are allowed. A clean restroom is also on board for your convenience. Both boats are wheelchair accessible and are pet friendly.
