by Nature's Discovery - Manatee Swim Tours
Crystal River is known for its population of wild manatees that gather in its clear waters during cooler months. This three-hour small-group snorkeling tour allows up to six participants to swim alongside these large marine mammals. All snorkeling gear is supplied, including wetsuits, and bottled water is provided for comfort throughout the tour. An experienced in-water guide accompanies the group to assist and ensure safety while observing the manatees. The tour includes admission to Pete's Pier and parking fees. At the end of the swim, guests receive a photo package taken by the guide, documenting the encounter with the manatees. Gratuities for the captain and guide are not included, and participants must bring their own towels and bathing suits.
Manatee Snorkel Boat Tour
Board a small passenger vessel for a snorkel tour in King's Bay, Crystal River, Florida, to observe wild Florida Manatees. Guests meet their in-water guide upon arrival, who assists with boarding and takes photos throughout the tour. During the boat ride, the guide and captain provide instructions on how to snorkel safely and respectfully around the protected manatees. When a manatee is located in the 600-acre bay, guests exit the boat to snorkel alongside the animals. The guide leads the group and captures in-water photos during the entire experience. Conditions vary daily, and the tour is suitable for snorkelers of all skill levels.
