Blue Heaven River Tours

Visit Homosassa!

• Stay and Play

  Homosassa has a range of accomodations from full-service hotels to cozy airbnbs. The area boast some of the best seafood you can find! There are lots of great restaurants including amazing pizza, great steaks, international cuisine, and of course...seafood!

• Explore

  Take a boat ride, swim with manatees, go scalloping hunting, and visit state parks.

• Manatee Season

  Manatee season officially runs during the cooler weather months from November 15th through Early April. However, we see manatees all year long! We recommend earlier morning tours for a better chance to see and swim with these gentle giants! Although we definitely have a reputation for finding manatees when others don't, please remember that we may be in charge of the fun, but Mother Nature is in charge of the manatees! Call for a free manatee report at 352-322-3722! Our most popular tour times for manatee tours are 7:30, 8:00, 11:00 & 11:30! Weekend afternoons are definitely more crowded and once again, early morning tours are recommended for Manatee Tours!

• Everything is Provided

  Wetsuits are provided from November 15th through March 31st during colder weather! We furnish everything you need from masks, snorkels, swim noodles and your own designated expert captain that will help guide you to the Ultimate Manatee Experience!

• Best Experience

  Located on the beautiful Homosassa River! More Manatees / Less Crowded! Nothing beats a day on the water with family and friends! Our tour times book up early! We recommend booking your tour in advance but do welcome last-minute callers and hope to have you aboard for the ultimate manatee experience! Manatees are much more abundant during the cooler months of the year and that's why being on one of our heated boats and having nice warm wetsuits makes for a fantastic experience for Manatee Magic! The water in the springs is 72 Degrees all year and feels fantastic!

• Gentle Giants

  Come enjoy all the beauty of these magnificent gentle giants and see why our customers say that this may be the neatest thing that they have ever done in their life! Homosassa is one of the only places in the world in which you are allowed to not only see but interact with Manatees and enjoy what many of our guests say is simply Manatee Magic! We take great pride in both educating our guests on how to have the ultimate Manatee experience while protecting these magnificent creatures! They are so loving and sociable that if you relax and listen to a little coaching, the Manatees may end up coming to you! We have had all ages from 2 years old to 92 years old aboard and have even had a few babies get rocked to sleep on our boat!

• Nature-Dolphin Watch

  Step aboard and let us as we venture out around Monkey island into the estuary to the Gulf! Enjoy seeing all the beautiful homes as well as all nature has to offer along the way. With so many beautiful birds and interesting history, the Homosassa River is certainly unique. Although there is never a guarantee that we will see dolphins or manatees, we do see them on most of our trips and definitely guarantee a great time for everyone!

• Wildlife Wonders

  Seek out many beautiful birds from blue herons, osprey, ibis, and the occasional bald eagle! We always cruise around Monkey Island on our nature tours. So much fun! Look for dolphins and manateees. Dolphins seem to be drawn to our boats!
