3 hours (approximately)

Discover the beauty of Crystal River, Florida, by joining our eco-conscious and small-group manatee snorkel tours. Immerse yourself in the natural habitat of these gentle creatures as you swim alongside them. With a maximum of 8 guests per boat, we prioritize heartfelt and sustainable experience that benefits both our guests and the manatees.

Please remember that our manatees are not in captivity, so they are not trained to come up to you. These tours are conducted in their natural habitat, meaning that every tour we perform is different.

We are proud to be the only Manatee Tour Company in Crystal River Florida that has a education program for not only our manatees but now our onsite Aquarium with a focus on Native and Invasive species in Florida. The semi-private tour includes entry to the Aquarium

This snorkel experience happens in the manatees natural habitat, which is what makes this so special! They are not captive animals and are free to roam any part of our 588 acre bay. Please keep this in mind when you book your tour, as every trip is different than the last and things like amount of manatees, water clarity, etc are out of our control.
