Chartered fishing trips are available as well as manatee swims and watches. Airboat rides are a Florida tradition and there are several pilots in the marina. Nearby are the Yulee Sugar Mill remains as well as the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park with its famous "fishbowl" underwater viewing area of the springs.
