Overview
Available languages
3 hours
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.

5.00This was a great tour ! They provided wet suits, boat coats, and hot coffee/cocoa to keep your warm once you got wet. The guide was very helpful and great at locating manatees. It was awesome swimming with these large sea cows ! We were given plenty of time to just observe and swim with them. Then we were taken to the crystal springs which were really cool as well. No manatees there but you could see tropical fish in crystal clear water. I highly recommend this trip ! I would recommend bringing your own water though because that wasn’t provided.
