Area Information
Ozello Tours operates on the Gulf Coast of Florida in Citrus County, the heart of an area nicknamed "The Nature Coast." Although we are only an hour or so away from the Tampa metropolitan area, the atmosphere is laid back country. Our location in Ozello puts us literally on an island in the midst of the St. Martin's Preserve.
