Nage ou promenade en bateau avec les lamantins de Crystal River au départ d'Orlando

Aperçu
Venez profiter de la vraie Floride... Rapprochez-vous du gentil lamantin et admirez la beauté de Crystal River en explorant le Homosassa State Wildlife Park.

La visite se dirige vers Crystal River, où vous pourrez faire de la plongée avec tuba - nager dans les rivières où vivent des lamantins sauvages. C'est un départ tôt le matin, alors apportez des collations pour le petit-déjeuner à manger pendant le voyage.

Après un briefing sur la sécurité et en récupérant votre masque, votre tuba et vos palmes (la location de combinaisons coûte 15 $ et est requise pour les nageurs), vous montez à bord du bateau. Vous n'êtes pas obligé de nager ou de faire de la plongée avec tuba, vous pouvez choisir de profiter de la promenade en bateau à la recherche de la nature seule si vous préférez.

Lorsque des lamantins sont repérés, vous pouvez entrer dans la rivière si vous le souhaitez, prenez de superbes photos.

Dans l'après-midi, explorez le parc d'État d'Homosassa. Le parc abrite de nombreuses espèces d'animaux sauvages indigènes qui ont été sauvées. Vous êtes là à l'heure du déjeuner, vous pouvez donc choisir de l'acheter au café du parc ou de vous apporter un pique-nique si vous préférez. Une vraie journée en Floride !

Rivière de cristal
À votre arrivée à la pittoresque rivière Crystal, vous profiterez d'une fabuleuse excursion en bateau commentée. Des masques, des tubas et des palmes vous seront fournis et vous serez encouragés à nager aux côtés de ces sympathiques créatures sous la direction de maîtres de plongée certifiés. Les lamantins sont en voie de disparition et viennent aux sources de Floride toute l'année pour trouver un abri et de la nourriture. Pendant les mois d'hiver, la population de lamantins peut atteindre plusieurs centaines et pendant l'été, le nombre moyen est de 80. Ce sont de "gentils géants" et n'ont pas de dents. Après votre croisière, vous vous dirigez vers Homosassa State Wildlife Park, célèbre dans toute la Floride pour la réhabilitation des animaux blessés. C'est ici que vous aurez la chance de voir les résidents actuels de lamantins du parc lors d'une séance d'alimentation informative et divertissante avec l'un des gardes du parc. Vous verrez également des ours, des panthères, des alligators et même un hippopotame en explorant le reste du parc. Le transport aller-retour depuis la région d'Orlando et un chauffeur-guide expérimenté sont également inclus.

The guides were informative and very nice. They brought us to this spring which was gorgeous just to swim about for a little bit. We went at the end of November so there wasn't a lot of people out which made the experience all around more pleasant. We will most definitely do this again In a few years.

We booked through Tui as part of our holiday and it states that round trip collection is included from Disney resorts, it does not specify the resort is actually the WDW Swan and no others so those staying at other resorts should be aware that you will need to get an uber as our collection was supposed to be 6.35am. Our guide was 20 minutes late... We could've used the free Disney transport if the actual collection time was as late as they turned up! Although our guide was very apologetic and friendly. This is very frustrating when you have 5am wake up calls to be on time. Minibus is very small and cramped. Manatee experience is fantastic and I would do it again. The dive guides were amazing, great with first time snorkellers or those concerned about swimming. The state Park is disappointing. The panthers show stereotypical behaviour so you can see they are very stressed and unhappy. I personally think it's cruel to keep wild birds that have injuries so severe they cannot be released. Amputating a birds wing and then keeping it in captivity doesn't seem right to me. On arrival back at the Disney area we drove straight past everyone's resorts to go to WDW swan and our particular group ended up having to get a boat to the boardwalk, then a bus to Disney springs to get a bus to all stars. People booking their tour need to be aware of collection points so they can make sure they have arrangements made or make a decision on whether they can afford to find extra travel money.

We booked via Floridatix and it was Greyline that organised the bus from Orlando to the manatee swim at Crystal River. They picked us up on time from Orlando at 6:10 am and the bus guide and driver were very welcoming and professional. When we booked the trip in Jan 22 it included a small breakfast on the bus and lunch included in the price. Also cost of wetsuits. In the summer 22 unknown to us this was removed from the package but we were not advised. So after getting on the bus at 6:10 for the next two hours we had no water, coffee or breakfast and as there is no cafe at the manatee swim area we had to wait until 12:30 before we reached a cafe so we could get something to eat or drink. So that was six hours without food or drink and it was a really hot day. I have since received a refund from Floridatix for exra money we paid out for the food and wetsuits. The bus journey was fine but we were uncomfortable and hungry during the manatee swim. I suggest that as you are picking people up so early you make sure you advise people that there is no food or drink beforehand so we can either buy our own to take or you offer to stop at a shop along the way. We were told that the package changed after we booked in January and that you did not inform Floridatix. I would advise people to check this before travelling with their provider.

Thank you for feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed the manatee swim, but we are disappointed for you that you were not informed by your travel agent you booked with that changes had been made to the tour. These changes were actually put in place in December 2021. We informed all our reseller clients and even changed the name of the tour so there could be no mistakes. We also decreased the price of the tour from $119 to $99 a person. The change was the removal of the food, the wetsuits have never been included in tour price, no tour company going to the Crystal River from Orlando includes wetsuits. At the time you booked the changes had already been made for all new reservations. You booking was received at the lower price point then the former price that included breakfast. You reseller company did not inform us that they refunded this to you, which we are very happy they have. This is because they would have been aware that this was their error - but we are really sorry this happened as the be hungry is no fun. We appreciate your feedback and will put in place for our office staff to remind guests when they reconfirm that they can bring breakfast snacks with them on the tour vehilce if they wish. We appreciate this feedback! We hope you loved Orlando and hope to see you next time you travel to the state! Tori
