An experience of a lifetime awaits you on this exciting 3 hour snorkeling tour to Swim with Manatees in their natural habitat. Located just 1.5 hours from the attractions area of Orlando, the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge is the only place in the U.S. where you can experience the manatees up close and face to face. On this Semi-Private Manatee Snorkel Tour, you will enjoy the benefits of a small group. This tour is our most popular as it is limited to a maximum of only 6 participants.

I cannot begin to say enough good things about this company! Captain Ryan and our guid/photographer Storm
Were AMAZING!!! So patient with our family of newbie snorkelers! They made us feel comfortable and gain confidence very quickly! They knew where to go for all the good manatee activity and we had some real great encounters including a baby that came and gave us some love! To say it was AMAZING is a disservice but I’m unable to articulate it any other way! Thank you so much for everything and the great memories! We will definitely be back to see you guys next year!

Incredibly beautiful experience! Absolutely a highlight and extremely nice team Sac and Mac! 💦 thank you guys! Even though a very busy day we had the great chance to meet a manatee and watch it. They are very respectful with the wildlife which is absolutely positive!! They respect nature and still give you an unforgettable chance to meet wonderful creatures! Also the springs (the deep one) are worth a visit!

Took the small group tour with Storm and Captain Brody. They gave us a great description of what to do and expect but the real life experience was even better. These guys know the Manatees inside and out, listen to what they say and you will have a great experience. You will find and swim with Manatees guaranteed. The plus experience was getting to swim with one at the spring head, that wasxan awesome experience. Check off your bucket list and sign up for a tour you will never forget it.

Best tour with guide Tyler and Captain Alex!! We had booked the tour without snorkeling, which nobody normally does. The staff took care of it and rebooked others so that we could go with our own boat - what luck! Otherwise we might have only seen one or two swimming spots. So Alex and Tyler went on a lot of trips with us and our expectations were far exceeded: manatees with several babies, birds, pelicans, fish and even three dolphins...
The two complemented each other wonderfully and simply told us a lot about the area, the animals and the ecosystem. No question was left unanswered. Thank you for this wonderful private, informal tour in this beautiful place!

Our captain, Judge was a local who knew the canals and territory very well. He was very imformative. Chrystal, our swim guide was great. The equipment provided was perfect. Moe importantly, we saw 5 Manatees incuding a calf only a few days old.

Jessica and Mac had the perfect balance of knowledge and jokes. Mixing facts in with joking around and knowing how to track down the animals made the tour fly by. Would definitely recommend to any wanting a good successful manatee spotting trip

This was absolutely the experience of a lifetime. We brought our 4 kids from Oklahoma to vacation in Florida and this was our #1 activity. Our guide Jessica and our captain Gavin took us to multiple locations until we found a lovely group of manatees. They were patient with my children and extremely knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to have a young manatee come to us and be curious and boop our noses with hers, as well as try to shake our hands with her fins! We will never forget this magical day, and we will definitely book with them again!!

This is by far the best thing we did on vacation! Although it’s not peak season for manatees, our boat Captain Garrett and tour guide Crystal had us swimming right with one in less than 10 minutes! It was such a neat experience! I am so glad we decided to stray away from the beach area to do this tour.
