We ordered a blackened fish (flounder) basket with fries and coleslaw and they had draught beer too. The fish was done right, the fries were extra crispy, and the coleslaw was crunchy. The live music was great, a casual and cool place with plenty of parking, and a seemingly popular biker destination. Prices were very reasonable, domestic draught beer $3.25, and the fish basket $12.00. We're definitely coming back.

It has a very 'old Florida' vibe with direct access to the river with lots of amenities to use on it. However there were a few items that were advertised but not available but it did not really bother us. Check in was quick and efficient. We were given our own spot. NOTE: use the supplied cone to hold your spot when you leave or else someone will take your spot. The Monkey bar was pretty popular and parking is scarce when it gets crowded. We had an upstairs room with a great view of the river. 2 rooms with lots of space and full size appliances. TVs in both rooms, satellite and WIFI was great! Fastest WIFI I have seen in a secluded place like this. Shower had good pressure and lots of hot water. The shower had the weird faucet 'switch' to get the shower going. Seems to be something they like in these parts. Just pull down on the end of the faucet to close it and start the shower. The resort is in walking distance to many bars and restaurants. We went to the Monkey bar every night just to chill in the open by the water. There is a water taxi to take you over to Crumps if you want. We didn't use it but it was available. We did use the pontoon boats that were available to guests for a fee. $100 for 4 hours was not bad at all. However we got rained on and were only out 2 so they guy working at the desk let us have it for free! Great customer care here! Overall our stay was great. If you have a boat this place is perfect as a launch point to explore the river. A very relaxing get away very close to both nature and nightlife. We will be back.

My friends and I have been using River Adventure Tours over 5 years now for our annual scalloping…read moreadventure! A day out on the water with this outfitter has always been super fun regardless of the number of scallops caught. My group has gone out with a few different captains, all of which have been knowledgeable & safe. The booking process is pretty easy. I always book online - you can even sign the waiver through their website so there is no paperwork to take care of when you arrive at the dock. The boats are comfortable for the short ride out to the scalloping site and we always bring along a well stocked cooler of drinks and snacks to enjoy during our trip. All the snorkel equipment needed to dive for scallops is included in the tour. In general, the equipment is nice and well maintained. The conditions have been a little different every year I have gone - sometimes we catch a lot, sometimes a little. The captain has always dived with us to help search for scallops and moves to new locations as necessary. Cleaning the scallops after returning to the docks has always been easy - sometimes there is a group of high school students who will clean them for you for a fee. If they aren't around, there is a station to clean them yourself, and the captain has always been around to help / walk us through the best process. We will be back again!

Basically has a lot of options to explore the area. You can take an 4 hour tour or two hour tour on kayak. If you really explore in one day use the motor boat is better. The rivers are wide and not much of cover. Sunny day will have big sun on you body, sun cream protection is recommended. The kayak trail have 4 different rout. We choose the homosassa spring head route. They need to improve on facilities. Such as changes clothes area when wet, better rest room facilities instead of potable station, better educate the people who rent the kayak and give details tours recommendations and direction. One thing for sure is they are nice to meet with us. We went to the spring head trail. And we did not know we need to get under the small bridge then further down. Nice to have proximity map. But better instruction to get there is equally importance. We also miss the tunnel river. We found out this point of interest when we get back docking.

They even credited our fee we were charged for boaters insurance thru river safari with no hesitation. Dillon was in charge of us on both days and did a spectacular job getting us checked onto the boat. His interpersonal and communication skills are top notch! The sea grass was terrible and did cause a lot of cavitation but they can't control the grass! A bigger motor would have been the only thing that could have made it even better! Our boat engine began to fail on our way back in so I called the marina to let them know. The engine shut off about 30 mins later because it was overheating so I called the marina back. They sent the boss to save us! Mark hooked up our pontoon to his pontoon and towed us back to the marina! He even gave us a credit on our bill for the minor inconvenience we incurred. Thank you Dillon, Mark, and Christine for being so kind to us!

We visited Monkey Island and saw their new digs! The kids especially enjoyed their antics. Saw great blue herons, a few osprey nests, cormorants, Anhinga, turtles and manatee.

Educational info shared including the history of the river and environmental status. Thanks again for your hospitality gents! See you soon.
