What To Expect

Crystal River

Upon arrival at the dive shop, guests will be fitted for wetsuits and asked to watch a brief video from US Fish and Wildlife outlining their encounter with the manatees. The captain and guide will then take the group to the boat and embark all passengers and give a short safety brief. Once underway, the guide will further explain how to interact with the manatees once in the water and fit the guests with their masks and snorkels. While transiting to the swim areas, the captain and guide will present information about the area wildlife and what guests can expect to see during your tour. They will also answer questions and take pictures along the way. The guide will stay with the group the entire time, ensuring that the guests get the most out of their experience, all while taking photos and videos of your adventure!

Liz and Jade are amazing. Their manatee knowledge is second to none. And we saw so many manatees. It was incredible Their office is also phenomenal. Huge and clean. Easy to change into your wetsuit (they provide). They also provide non-alcoholic drinks on the boat. Great experience!

Took the Private Manatee Snorkeling tour on 31 July 24 with a family of four. Capt Ron and Jade did a great job! Although the summer months are not the best time to snorkel with manatee, we were able to see four manatee to include a mother and calf! After snorkeling with the manatee, we were able to visit the Three Sisters Springs for more snorkeling. Springs were crystal clear and very refreshing. Capt Ron & Jade had snacks, coffee, and hot chocolate for us after the snorkeling. Family and I had a great time and highly recommend Capt Ron & Jade for snorkeling with manatee!

Thank you guys so very much! We loved having you out with us, especially when we can do a private tour. It really makes for a special experience. That really was a great time out there and I'm glad we were able to set aside some time to see Three Sisters Springs. It's an amazing place to see. I definitely hope to see you guys again this upcoming season!
