Experience the beauty of Homosassa on a Gulf Discovery Boat Tour. Cruise along the Homosassa river and enjoy the relaxed pace
Bring the whole family for a tour done ?Homosassa Style?! What does that mean? Well, Homosassa is a very special place , filled with friendly, quirky people, and an Old World fishing village feel. Things move just a bit slower here, and that relaxed pace translates to less worries along the way! The word ?Homosassa? comes from the Seminole and Creek Indian languages and means ?place where the wild peppers grow?. From the Wildlife Park and Monkey Island, to the Crab boats and local fisherman, this unique village is a gem on the Nature Coast. Learn about the history of the area while the wildlife around you will amaze!
Running 7.7 miles from the headsprings to the Gulf of Mexico, you may see dolphin, manatee, turtles, alligator, otter and a huge assortment of birds. The Homosassa River is technically an estuary, changing from salt water to freshwater gradually, which means it is teeming with both fresh and salt water fish!
Tricky to navigate, especially around the infamous ?Hell?s Gate?, this is the best way for an inexperienced boater to take in the sights of the river all the way out to an open view of The Gulf of Mexico.

About River Safaris
River Safaris & Gulf Charters was incorporated in 1982 but was in operation for about 4 years prior to that date. The river tour business was, in the beginning, simply set up to take people out to a restaurant called the Crow's Nest, located on an island at the mouth of the Homosassa River on the Gulf of Mexico.
