The Manatee Snorkel Small Group Tour in Crystal River lasts three hours and departs from Fun 2 Dive, a full-service tour facility and gift shop located in the historic district of downtown Crystal River, Florida. The tour operates daily year-round between 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Guests meet at Fun 2 Dive, where free parking is available. All snorkeling gear, including mask, snorkel, and wetsuit, is provided at no extra cost, with wetsuit sizes ranging from toddler size 2 to adult 4X. The tour is limited to six participants to keep group sizes small. A licensed and drug-tested guide accompanies guests in the water to ensure safe and respectful interaction with the manatees. The tour includes a scenic boat ride to the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge, a protected sanctuary for manatees throughout the year. Guests observe manatees from both the boat and while snorkeling in the refuge waters. During winter months, when water temperatures allow, guests may swim into Three Sisters Springs, a protected area where manatees gather to stay warm. The guide takes photos during the tour, capturing up to 100 images, which are available for purchase after the tour. Children aged three and older are welcome with a paid ticket. Bathing suits, towels, and jackets or sweatshirts for colder months are not included and should be brought by guests. Service animals are permitted only on private tours, which can be arranged separately. The tour location is approximately one and a half hours from the Orlando attractions area.
