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!

What an amazing experience my family and sister had on our manatee adventure. We went first thing in the morning and we were able to see many manatees and a mama nurse her baby calf. Such a beautiful, serene, and once in a life time experience. Our captain Lauren and Guide, Audrey were so knowledgeable about the Bay Area, manatees and their habitat. We learned so much. Audrey took amazing photos/videos which were included in our package. Thank you! Highly recommend this adventure! Donuts, coffee and hot chocolate was a delicious added treat. Highly recommend the private tour! Thank you for an experience my family and sister will never forget.😉 FYI, below only option for family was either “family/young children” or “family/teens” and my kids are young adults.

Lauren and Capt Andrew were incredible! We had the best time! Lauren was so knowledgeable and was a wonderful guide. We had the best time with the baby calf that gave us all the hugs! 10/10 you have to do this!

WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! We saw many manatees up close and personal in the wild!Captain Andrew was an amazing boat driver and Lauren was an amazing snorkeling guide! I was traveling with my parents and my brother who is autistic and nonverbal, but loves water and animals. Everyone was so understanding, kind and gentle with him. Lauren spent extra time with him to help him enjoy his time! My whole family is beyond grateful for every person at Gulf Coat expeditions! Thank you Lauren and Andrew❤️
