This was fantastic! I liked that this group was smaller than the other tour groups we saw. We saw tons on manatees, it was magical!

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.

My husband and I had a great time this past weekend on the manatee snorkel tour! Our tour guide, Crystal, and Captain Mike were incredible. The gulf was warm when we went, so there weren't too many manatees, but Crystal was determined to find one for us and she did! It was so much fun and the hot chocolate on the way back was much appreciated. I recommend booking right through the company directly as they often have discounts.

What a great experience! Although our group was a bit larger than it should’ve been due to staffing issues, our guide Crystal, managed it all amazingly. She lead us to pockets of areas to see the list manatees and away from the crowds as much as possible. We saw so many beautiful floaty potatoes up close and personal. Highly recommend this tour and definitely ask for Crystal!

Great experience! Our group was a bit larger than it should’ve been due to staffing issues, but Crystal handled the group extraordinarily well. Once we got in the water, wow! Manatees everywhere! They swam under us and beside us and even popped up a few times to breathe and look at us. Love the floaty potatoes! As mentioned earlier, Crystal had the patience of a saint dealing with some very needy members (adults and children) that were in our group. It was a wonderful experience and we plan to return with other guests visiting us.
