A Wonderful Tour - My granddaughter and I had an excellent experience touring Crystal River with our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Captain Tommy. He shared a lot of interesting information about the history of the area and the plentiful wildlife, too. I think he has manatee radar because he was so sharp at spotting them! It was a comfortable ride on a gorgeous afternoon, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. I would highly recommend Captain Tommy and Tommy B. Boating.

Amazing tour! - We had a great time, cruising around on Tommy’s clean comfortable pontoon boat. It was obvious that he knew a lot about the area and where to go to find whatever we wanted to see on the bay. I highly recommend this tour definitely worth the time and money.

Highly recommended! - It was just great! Tommy is super friendly, he drove us to the manatees, turtles and alligators. In the end we even watched a Manatee mother with her baby! His boat was very comfortable, there was cold water for everyone. He also told us a lot about the animals. Absolutely recommend!!! FYI: in the parking lot at Petes Pier you can park easily with the RV (25$ per QR code), then just ask for Tommy!

Wonderful Outing on Kings Bay - I cannot recommend the Eco Tour with Tommy B enough. It was a perfect 1 1/2-to-2 hour relaxing and educational outing on King's Bay. We had about a half-dozen sighting of manatee and even spotted a couple of dolphins. We were instructed on all the natural and manmade features of the bay We enjoyed very good company with Tommy B. and will long remember this trip!

100 out of 100 … DO THIS!! - You NEED to book Captain Tommy B for your manatee excursion at Crystal River. Tommy was fantastic on a day when other companies told us to not go out due to weather and limited visibility. Tommy not only found us a number of manatees, but also educated us on the bay. We were so excited to see a manatee barrel roll right in front of us. Highly recommended!
