Sunshine, balmy breezes, dolphins swimming by, eagles overhead - its all in your sights on the nature cruise. Our tour guide filled us in on dolphin behavior, local legends, history of the homes along the shore, and the many varieties of birds including eagles. What a great way to spend a couple of hours on a sunny afternoon. Our grandsons,... More

This was a very nice sightseeing tour around Lemon Bay. Thanks Capt. Bruce--we learned quite a bit that day! More

Went on a Sunset tour. Captian was knowledgeable about waters and history (at least it sounded good) Beautiful tour where we got to see many of God's grand creatures! Sunset was truly amazing as well. Would return for another trip again! More

What a lovely way to spend the afternoon! The Captain was very gracious in accepting our last minute reservation. He welcomed and oriented us well to the boat and its safety features - including a small washroom on board that was extremely clean! He also reminded us that the water in the bay was so shallow that if you fell... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon nature tour. Captain Bruce is knowledgeable and funny. We have taken numerous nature tours in Southwest Fl., and we saw more dolphins on this trip than anywhere else. Dolphins are my favorite! More

We took the afternoon Nature Cruise and completely enjoyed the nearly 2 hour leisurely trip around Lemon Bay and briefly out into the Gulf to watch the dolphins come to play and visit us. Capt Bruce's knowledge is vast and he provides an excellent commentary. It's inexpensive and worth more than the price in scenery alone. Learned alot, met some... More

If you enjoy a calm relaxing boat ride, and like seeing birds this is for you! This company operates a clean safe vessel and was very polite and preformed the tour as advertised. As others have posted it can be tricky to find the right place to park. Also, gps will likely misguide you. Overall a great time. More

I also thought $100.00 was a bit high, but it was well worth the money as an educational and fun experience. The Captain is clearly very familiar with the waterways in Lemon Bay and with local history. He provided interesting information throughout the tour, the boat ride itself was pleasant, and we were able to see a wide variety of... More

Captain Bruce is a very entertianing and knowledgeable guide. He knows both fauna and flora. He has been around long enough to know the individual osprey and dolphins and their habits. He even has named some of them. On our trip we saw lots of dolphins, including a couple of babies, two manatee (who looked like they were playing) as... More

I questioned whether or not our family of 4 (adults) should spring for the $25/pp nature tour, but let me tell you... it was worth every cent! Captain Bruce was more than pleasant, knowledgeable, and funny, and made the tour so enjoyable. After just pulling out of the slip we saw dolphins under the bridge, and proceeded to see more... More
