Crystal River Manatee Swim – 3 Hours, Maximum 6 Guests
Overview
Swim with manatees in Crystal River on a small-group tour with a maximum of 6 guests per boat. Your 3-hour experience includes snorkel gear, a sanitized wetsuit, shuttle to the marina, time on Kings Bay, and admission to our on-site aquarium. Our local captain and crew focus on respectful, passive manatee observation in the wild.
Because manatees are wild animals, every tour is different. Sightings, interactions, water clarity, and spring access can vary by day, season, weather, tides, and wildlife behavior. Our crew will take you to the best available areas of Kings Bay and help you enjoy the experience responsibly.
After your tour, visit our on-site aquarium, included with your ticket. Our aquarium focuses on Florida’s native and invasive aquatic species, making this more than a boat trip — it’s a deeper look at the waters, wildlife, and ecosystem that make Crystal River special.
