A very unique, special and heart touching experience, I absolutely loved it. We saw many manatees and I I got great photos out of the trip. The crew (Crystal, Celeste, Ron and Mike) did a great job in taking me on that tour, cared for me and gifted me this special and forever memory. And this despite I was the only customer that day and time!

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.

Captain Ron was very knowledgeable and fun! He taught us a lot about the Manatees and the area. He took us to a couple of places so we were able to see/swim with 4 Manatees and see a few more. The photographer Mirana was great as well. She captured some great shots and helped us locate them in the water. At the end of our tour we spotted a few dolphins fishing. Captain Ron took a few extra minutes and allowed us to watch them, an awesome bonus to our day! I would definitely recommend!

Captain Ron was fantastic!! My husband and I did the tour with 4 of our kids, ages 12, 12, 10 and 4. They all had such an amazing experience. We drove 8 hours round trip to do this tour and it was WELL WORTH IT. Thank you so much. We’ll be back!!

Captain Ross was very friendly and knowledgeable. His team was well trained and put us at ease. We had a great experience and saw multiple manatees and even some dolphins! The photographer captured our memories with great pictures that we will treasure. Definitely recommend!
