Manatee Tours

SeaDaddys offers guided Crystal River manatee experiences for visitors who want to observe and swim with manatees in their natural environment.

​

Available experiences may include small-group shared manatee swims and private manatee tours.

​

Manatees are wild animals. Their location, behavior, proximity to guests, and visibility cannot be guaranteed.

Water clarity, weather, refuge conditions, and access to individual springs may also vary.

Current options and pricing should always be confirmed through the SeaDaddys FareHarbor booking system.
