THIS THREE HOUR TRIP INCLUDES A FULLY ENCLOSED HEATED VESSEL (for the winter months)

Crystal River is considered the manatee capitol of the world, and we are fortunate enough to be in one of the only places where you can have the unique experience of swimming with these gentle giants in their own natural habitat! This three hour trip includes masks, snorkels, wetsuits, transportation to and from marina, professional in-water guide and photographer. Also includes bottled water and hot beverages. Photo/video packages may be viewed and purchased for an additional charge.

Each winter between 700 and 1000 manatees migrate here seeking out our three first magnitude spring systems, each with a constant temperature of 72° to 74° F (23° C). Even in the warm summer months, Crystal River has a local population of 70-100 manatees that remain here year round. Due to efforts by many local, state and federal entities, our manatee population is thriving. We feel that an in-water swim experience is an important part of this education and conservation effort. Our team of highly trained in-water guides ensure your experience with this cherished and threatened species is handled with the utmost care and respect by encouraging passive observation.
