see wildlife.
Cruise to the Springs
A perfect boat tour any time of the
year, a river tour to the headwaters of

manatees congregate in the springs
for warmth).

Homosassa River to the Gulf of
Mexico, enjoying the local flora and

the St. Martin’s Aquatic Preserve.

help anyone learn how to find these wonderful delicacies. Shade and comfortable seating is available on our well- equipped

to show you how and to help clean the scallops, as well.

Peace River Airboat Tours Fishing Charters
The Peace River originates at the Green Swamp and juncture

16th century Spanish mapping charts. This river also flows
