Introduction

Experience the incredible world of the Florida manatees with the small group Manatee Tour with In-Water Divemaster/Photographer. This guided tour takes you to Crystal River, the perfect location for swimming alongside these gentle giants.

Dive into the crystal-clear waters and discover the magic of these amazing creatures. The tour includes all necessary equipment, such as wet suits, snorkels, and masks, ensuring you have a comfortable and unforgettable experience.

What to Expect?

During this Manatee Tour, you can anticipate an up-close encounter with the Florida manatees, a subspecies of the West Indian manatee. These curious and magnificent creatures will swim gracefully alongside you as you explore the Kings Bay estuary and springs. By snorkeling silently in wet suits, you create a peaceful environment that entices the manatees to approach and interact with you. Immerse yourself in their world and witness their playful behaviors as your in-water guide captures stunning photos and videos of your experience.
