Florida Airboat Tours

Sunshine River Tours is an ecotourism guide service located in Homosassa, Florida.

Sunshine River Tours invites you to come Swim with the Manatees in the Crystal River and the Homosassa River along the Nature Coast of West Central Florida. Manatees abound in our 72 degree (year around) spring fed waters. Let these gentle creatures get close to you and they may roll over and allow you to scratch their belly.

In addition to Manatee swim and snorkel tours we offer Airboat Rides, Scalloping Trips, and Dive Instruction. You will be thrilled by the glory of Florida nature at it's finest. The Nature Coast is a birdwatcher's and aquatic paradise. Many reasonably priced accommodations as well as restaurants, are available near our location.

Join Captain Bob on the "Funmobile"
and travel to the northwest corner of
the Everglades on one of our Airboat Tours.

Your adventure takes you for a one-hour ride on a small airboat deep into the swamps surrounded by alligators and birds. Also included is an interactive reptile show.

This half-day, half-price eco tour is great fun for the whole family.

Located at the Beach Side of West Bay Bridge on Highway 79
5 miles from Panama City Beach, Florida.

Imagine yourself traveling thru the Everglades at high speed through marshes and swamps viewing wildlife and sea life as you glide through areas that have little or no water. Never before in this area has this type of wilderness adventure been available to the public.

We are open 9 AM 'til dark 7 days a week during Springbreak and Summer. Call for off season schedule.

We even have night trips (minimum 4). The night trip is very exciting because the gators come out and you experience that "unknown" feeling every time you round another bend.

Our boat is USCG Approved and is environmentally safe because there is no propeller in the water to disturb natural habitats of wildlife, fish or grasses.

Speedy Johnson's Airboat Rides

Our small 6 passenger airboats are able to take you from the mangrove jungles of the Everglades to the beautiful expanses of the grassland prairies. Only on these unique boats can you effortlessly travel through both eco-systems on the same tour.

This is an adventure that should not be missed on your trip to Florida. We will take you into an area that cannot be found anywhere else, and let you see first hand why people from all over the world come to visit this natural wonder.
