A morning on Kings Bay and a closer look at Florida wildlife—now that’s a day worth putting on the calendar!

With SeaDaddy’s, your manatee swim includes free admission to the Crystal River Marine Aquarium, giving you another way to explore the natural world around you.

Start with a manatee adventure

Our 3-hour shared swims take up to six guests per boat. Wetsuit and snorkel gear are included, so you can focus on learning, exploring, and enjoying the experience.

Our boats launch from Pete’s Pier, centrally located on Kings Bay and the closest launch to Three Sisters Springs, Hunter Spring, King Spring, and Jurassic Spring. Your captain chooses the best route based on conditions and wildlife activity.

Keep exploring at the aquarium

Before or after your tour, visit the Crystal River Marine Aquarium during regular opening hours.

Discover Florida wildlife through educational exhibits and hands-on displays. Learn about local turtles, aquatic habitats, and why healthy seagrass matters to the animals living in our waterways.

Here’s a fun connection: the plants you learn about at the aquarium are part of the story of the wild manatees you hope to see on your tour. These native Florida mammals depend on healthy aquatic habitats for food and shelter.

Make a day of it

Your manatee swim also includes free parking, lockers, a heated boat, and hot showers.

Bring a towel, dry clothes, and your curiosity. From the bay to the exhibits, there’s plenty to discover.
