Огляд

Enjoy a close, personal encounter with the West Indian Manatee as you snorkel with them under the guidance of a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captain. Our small group (no more than six guests) tours are conducted daily in the beautiful Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge. Get up close and personal with these amazing mammals and learn about the ecosystem and their habitat.

Unlike many tours, these Captains will actually swim with you and your group to ensure that you have a memorable experience. While in the water, your captain/tour guide will take high-definition photos and videos of you and your group which you will be able to view and purchase at the end of your trip.

Your price includes all snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel, wetsuit) and complimentary coffee or hot cocoa.

Booked with Capt. Ron and he was able to work a single into another small group. It was a 6:30 am 3 hour tour. I am NOT a morning person and so I grumbled a little. He convinced me that is was the best time to see them so I confirmed and boy am I glad I did! Captain Ron was our pilot and Lauren was our dive manatees expert and photographer. We watched a short video on the Manatees and what we could expect with our interaction. Capt. Ron covered the safety rules for the boat and Lauren the rules while we were in the water. We had an approximate 30 minute pontoon boat ride out to Kings Bay. As we pulled into our tie off area the light was just beginning to shine. We slowly entered the water in our wetsuits and pool noodles to keep us afloat. In less then 5 minutes we were approached by an inquisitive manatees and then another and another. THEY ARE FANTASTIC!!!!! Some just glided by at a distance, but as daylight appeared, so did the Manatees. We were the only tour in our location for quite awhile so that 6:30am tour really paid off. Lauren, I will call her the manatee whispered. They seem to recognize her, perhaps by her colored fins, and flicked to her. We had one that played and played with us, rolling over, nibbling on Laurens fins and several came right up face to face with us. It was like a game of who will blink/move first! SO, SO EXCITING. They truly are gentle giants. Lauren got a lot of pictures/videos for posterity. I'd say we "interacted" with 15-20 but there were 30-40 in the quarantine area. They are free to come and go as this is their home, we were merely guests. This is a must do tour, it will be a once in a lifetime event. You won't find a better company then Gulf Coast Expeditions and especially Capt. Ron and Lauren. They were both so much fun, and very experienced. Thank you both for my "bucket list dream" come true.

Thank you so very much for your awesome review! You're gonna make people think I wrote the review myself! I'm kidding, of course, and I'm so glad you took my advice to move to our early trip that day. I will always try to put our guests on the trip time that will give them the best possible experience, and usually our earlier trips are our better ones: less crowded, and the manatees are usually a bit more active. So great decision on your part! Overall, it was a great trip and we thank you again for the super kind words. Come back with us any time!

This was an absolutely great experience. We saw a ton of manatees who got very close to us. We captured amazing pictures and videos on our GoPro and Lauren guided us and took great photos as well. Their tours hold a maximum of 6 people, but my 4 person party did not have others with us. Our experience felt very intimate and personalized. Lauren did an excellent job of guiding us in the water toward the manatees, while Ron helped spot manatees from the boat. They were both very knowledgeable about the manatees and clearly cared about the well-being of the animals. They answered all our questions and were enjoyable to talk with. I would absolutely recommend this experience. The other groups and tours near us seemed much larger, less informative, and with less guidance. From my observations I was very happy I chose Gulf Coast Expeditions.

What a great review! Thank you guys very much! I really am glad you enjoyed your trip and I really think it was made possible by the smaller groups we take out, as well as how great you all were in the water around the manatees! You got to see first hand how being super calm in the water around our gentle giants makes them feel safe around you! Great job! We definitely hope to see you again soon!

They did a great job! On the boat ride Ron encouraged us to ask questions and we even saw some manatees prior to arriving at the manatee site. Before getting in the water, they made sure we knew the proper safety precautions to keep us and the manatees safe. Once in the water, Lauren made sure we saw as many manatees as possible and explained what each different manatee behavior was. Other guide groups that were there were much larger and seemed less informed, which is why our small and personal experience was so great. On our boat ride back, they prepared hot chocolate which was the perfect treat after leaving the water. I strongly recommend seeing manatees with Gulf Coast Expeditions!

Thank you very much for the great review, and we love to hear when we exceed expectations. We love doing the small groups because of the personal attention each guest can get, as well as making for a much better and safer manatee experience. Thanks again and we'd love to see you again soon!
