River Safaris And Gulf Charters has offered excursions along Homosassa's Nature Coast since 1982, exploring the waters of the beautiful Homosassa River as part of guided pontoon and airboating tours. The company was originally founded to take tourists to the city's former Crow's Nest restaurant, which was located on an island within the river's pristine waters. Today, it has shifted its focus to offer narrated historic tours about the region's culture and ecosystems, with a focus on viewing native wildlife. Visitors can embark on guided manatee and alligator viewing excursions throughout the year, led by experienced tour guides. Airboat tours are also offered, along with private scalloping and fishing charter experiences for individuals and small groups. Visitors can also see the company's three American alligators, which are housed within an exhibit open to the public free of charge without tour ticket purchase.
