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.

Our guide did a fantastic job with our paddle tour. She was knowledgeable, environmentally conscious, and a true advocate for the Manatees. I would highly recommend this tour over any of the boat excursions!

Thank you for giving us a review about your tour with Jessica. She is very educated about the local wildlife, eco-systems, and definitely loves manatees:) Come back and see us again when you are in the area and thanks again!
