The tour includes snorkeling equipment and wetsuits for use in the water. An in-water guide leads the group during the snorkeling portion to observe West Indian Manatees, encouraging careful and respectful interaction. A professional photographer is also present to capture moments throughout the tour. The manatees in Crystal River include 70 to 100 residents in summer and between 700 and 1,000 during winter, when they migrate to the local first-magnitude springs that maintain a constant temperature of 72° to 74° F (23° C). Bottled water, tea, and coffee are provided on board. Towels, sunblock, sunglasses, and hats are not included but recommended to bring. Children six years old and under must be supervised by an adult and wear a life vest while the boat is moving. Gratuities for the captain and crew are not included.
Crystal River is the manatee capital of the world, and we are fortunate enough to be the only place where you can have the unique experience of swimming with these gentle giants in their own natural habitat! Once you arrive at Salty Siren Tours the adventure begins! After checking in, you will be fitted with one of our high quality wetsuits. (All required gear is included in the cost of your charter.) From there, you'll meet your in-water guide and photographer who will discuss your upcoming manatee interaction and answer any questions you may have. After we explain passive observation and how to properly interact in the water with our precious manatees, we will transport you to our departure location in our comfortable 15 passenger van. From there you will board your immaculately clean tour vessel for the experience of a lifetime! During your trip your guide will escort you to passively observe and these majestic mammals. We also take underwater photos of your trip (which can be purchased for an additional fee) so you can share the manatee love!
