Overview

Mobile ticket
Enjoy a close, personal encounter with the West Indian Manatee as you snorkel with them under the guidance of a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captain. Our small group (no more than six guests) tours are conducted daily in the beautiful Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge. Get up close and personal with these amazing mammals and learn about the ecosystem and their habitat.
Unlike many tours, these Captains will actually swim with you and your group to ensure that you have a memorable experience. While in the water, your captain/tour guide will take high-definition photos and videos of you and your group which you will be able to view and purchase at the end of your trip.
Your price includes all snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel, wetsuit) and complimentary coffee or hot cocoa.

5.00We had a blast! Even though we went in the off season we were able to snorkel with a mother and her calf. These animals are so peaceful and wonderful to observe. 10/10 would recommend. One of the best excursions I’ve ever been on.

Captain Ron made our time pass by with his knowledge of the area and what to expect from the manatees. I would recommend this trip very highly to anyone that wants to swim with the manatees.

5.00What an excellent adventure. Captain Ron and guide Melana were excellent, professional and kind hosts. Captain Ron got us right near the manatees and Melana guided us to be a close but safe distance from several manatees, including a baby. I highly recommend this tour operator!
