Overview

  • Step aboard for an intimate adventure with Crystal River’s most beloved residents, the Florida manatee. This semi-private experience is limited to just six passengers, ensuring a relaxed and personalised journey on the water. Our company includes everything: Snorkel gear, wetsuits, and a photo package.

    Your US Coast Guard licensed captain and in-water guide will take you to the best spots to encounter manatees in their natural habitat. With small group sizes, you’ll have more space, more time in the water, and more opportunities for one-on-one guidance and wildlife education. We also include photos and videos on all trips.

    Snorkel alongside these peaceful creatures, learn about their behaviours, and capture unforgettable memories, all while enjoying the comfort and ease of a smaller group.

    Whether you’re travelling with family, friends, or looking to join a small group, this semi-private tour offers the perfect balance of privacy, adventure, and affordability.
