Swim with Manatee in Crystal River

Enjoy the unique privilege that is exclusively ours here in Citrus County Florida by joining us to snorkel with manatees in the spring-fed King’s Bay Wildlife Refuge! Crystal River is home to the world’s largest population of endangered manatees during the winter season, and even a small population in the warmer months. Having the chance to encounter these curious, gentle giants in their natural Florida habitat is an adventure your family will never forget!

Embark on your Manatee snorkel tour with a Coast Guard Certified Master Captain and in-water swim guide who will be your in-water chaperones, educators, and photographers. Your Manatee swim tour will run three hours from start to finish and everything you need is included for one price. You will begin at our full-service tour facility, where you will be educated about Crystal River’s manatees in a classroom-type setting and receive tips for your manatee snorkel tour to make the most of your day.

You will be taught the in’s and out’s of ‘passive interaction’ as this ensures that the animals enjoy the experience as much as we do! You will then be suited up and transported to the dock, where a Coast Guard-certified covered pontoon would be waiting to take you out on your manatee tour. This rich estuary will amaze… birds, fish, and wildlife abound! Explore the 600-acre Wildlife Refuge which Is home to multiple springs including Three Sisters Springs. Three Sisters Springs is the most well-known spring in our area, and while we have access to it during most manatee snorkel tours, it doesn’t always provide the best manatee tour experience.

Our experienced crew will take you where you’ll have the best manatee snorkel experience! Use their knowledge to submerge yourself in the manatee’s world! Finish your manatee swim tour by viewing your tour photos back at our facility and be sure to visit our one-of-a-kind gift shop! Our well-informed staff will direct to other local attractions, and restaurants and answer your questions about Citrus County, Florida before you are on your way.

We guarantee that you will never be the same after you meet our Crystal River manatees! You will never forget your swim with manatee tour here in Crystal River, and chances are - we will see you again!

This swim with manatee tour is run on a covered pontoon and is perfect for all levels of snorkel experience. Don’t miss your chance to snorkel with the manatee!
