EXPERIENCE

Embark on the ultimate adventure in Crystal River, Florida, with our exclusive Kayak and Swim with Manatees Tour. This 2.5-hour guided ecotour, available from November 15th to March 31st, offers an unparalleled opportunity to get up close with these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Our passionate guides will enrich your journey with fascinating insights about manatees and the local ecosystem, ensuring a memorable and educational experience.

Your adventure begins with a brief orientation, including a mandatory video as required by the FWC, and waiver signing. Equipped with a kayak or paddleboard, mask, snorkel, and wetsuit, you’ll set off to explore the crystal-clear waters. While sightings are common, they become more challenging towards the end of the season in March, as manatees migrate to the Gulf of Mexico. Despite this, our guides strive to provide the best chance of an encounter.

In addition to manatees, you may spot a variety of wildlife, including dolphins, tarpon, turtles, otters, and an array of birds and fish, making every tour a unique experience.
