Good to know

It's important to note that the well-being of the manatees takes precedence, and encounters cannot be guaranteed due to their protected status. The best time to observe these gentle mammals is during the peak season from November to March when they flock to the warm, spring-fed waters of Crystal River. While the water maintains a consistent temperature of 72 degrees, the air temperatures can range from the 30's to 50's, so be prepared for varying conditions. For more information on the rules and regulations governing manatee encounters, you can watch a helpful video from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
