Swim With Manatees In Crystal River, Florida

Overview
Our guided "Swim With the Manatees" tour is our number one attraction. You get the opportunity to experience manatees up close and personal in their natural habitat on colder days. Manatee season runs from November 15th through March 31st each year. We have amazing local guides who know our waters very well so you could spot several manatees in the right conditions. The colder the temperatures, the more manatees you will see. On warmer days/weeks, some tours get zero manatees because it is a natural environment and they are not always around to see. The manatees head back out to the Gulf of Mexico where the food supply is more bountiful for them. You will learn the right way to interact with these amazing animals through passive observation and learn all about our ecosystem here in Crystal River.

We had a lovely experience, despite the bad weather! Our guide, Hunter, was very easy going and adventurous and created some once in a lifetime experiences for us with the manatees.

Arriving from San Diego, we were so excited to kayak and snorkle with the manatees and wanted to make sure we chose the right company. We werenā€™t disappointed with Paddles Outdoor Rentals. Our guide Jessica was full of information and you can feel her love for these gentle animals. Thank you Jessica for taking good care of us!! It was an experience of a life time and so glad we chose Paddles Outdoors Rentalā€™s

Our guide, Hunter, was so knowledgeable and friendly. He took such awesome pictures of us. The staff was very accommodating and we saw so many manatees from the minute we got in the water. We will come back here next time we are in the area.
