Guided Small Group Manatee Snorkeling Tour with In-Water Photographer

Overview
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.

This was a once in a lifetime experience for us! Captain Ron went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great time. He didn't just put us in the water with the first manatee we saw but continued to go above and beyond in order to find a place where the water wasn't too deep and visibility was good and also that the manatee was going to cooperate before putting our three young children in the water. We had such an amazing experience and Ricky was so helpful to my kids in the water and took lots of pictures for us. We saw other larger tour groups all huddled around one manatee in murky water and I was so thankful that we decided to go with Captain Ron so that we could have a small group and the experience was so much better and more personal. They also had coffee, hot chocolate, and extra jackets for us. My kids can't stop talking about getting to swim with the manatees!!!

Perfect family adventure. Captain Ron Ross was was a lot of fun...great sense of humor and really informative.Ricky was a great guide. He showed us tons of things underwater that we may have missed with out him. He took beautiful pictures of our time with the manatees! Then on the way back Ron spotted some dolphins and he turned the boat around and got them to interact with the boat. They were so playful and we were able to get some good shots of them as well. All around, it was an awesome experience to remember for a lifetime!!! Worth the time...don't miss out!

I have to say that Captain Ron was one of the best tour guides I've ever met. He was very welcoming and accomodating. We had the pleasure of seeing several manatee and even a mom and baby. I would highly recommend the eco tour and look forward to doing the Swim with the Manatee tour in the future.
