Best Manatee Tours Around
General Info & Tour Inclusions
About
Snorkel with manatees in the natural habitat of Kings Bay, a 588 acre refuge where they roam freely. Here in Crystal River, we have the largest winter population of manatees in the entire world, and a resident population that resides in the bay year round.
With our tours you'll get the best of both worlds, an amazing wildlife encounter while ensuring the protection of these gentle giants. We are proud to be a permitted USFWS tour company, meaning we focus on 'passive observation'. This allows our manatees to act naturally, without us interfering with their behavior.
Prior to your tour, you'll get educated on the do's and dont's of swimming with the manatees, and watch a video from USFWS. Our expert crew will fit you in a sanitized wetsuit, and shuttle you to the marina where your adventure begins!

Swimming with the Manatees tours are our specialty. We offer both shared boat experiences, which are an affordable option for smaller groups, as well as private boat options for groups as big as six in a boat. All of our tours are eco-friendly as we are the only company in Crystal River to have an extensive education program in addition to the required USFW 'Manatee Manners' video.
