Your Coast Guard licensed captain will guide you into the 600-acre Kings Bay National Wildlife Refuge, a spring-fed area where you can observe and snorkel with endangered West Indian Manatees. The tour starts at the River Ventures facility, where you receive an instructional video in one of five languages and learn about the manatees and guidelines for passive interaction to protect the animals. After gearing up with the provided wetsuit, mask, and snorkel, you’ll board the covered pontoon boat to enter the estuary waters. The area also hosts various birds and fish. After snorkeling, you’ll return to the facility to see photos taken by your guide and visit the gift shop.
