With the very knowledgeable Captain Al as your tour guide, accompanied by some of the most comfortable seating and the best views of any local tour boat in the business, you can be sure that your tour will make memories to speak of for years to come. Every seat is a window seat with Wilderness Boat Tours!

The Peace River is a river in the southwestern part of the Florida peninsula, in the U.S.A. It originates at the juncture of Saddle Creek and Peace Creek northeast of Bartow in Polk County and flows south through Hardee County to Arcadia in DeSoto County, then southwest into the Charlotte Harbor estuary at Port Charlotte in Charlotte County. The river was called Rio de la Paz (River of Peace) on 16th-century Spanish charts. It appeared as Peas Creek or Pease Creek on later maps. The Creek (and later, Seminole) Indians call it Talakchopcohatchee, River of Long Peas.
