Our premier activity, the ‘Swim With the Manatees’ tour, allows you an intimate look into the life of manatees, especially on chillier days. The manatee season spans from November 15th to March 31st every year. Our local guides are well-versed regarding our waters, enhancing your chances of spotting multiple manatees under favorable conditions. The colder the weather, the higher your chances of seeing more manatees. During warmer periods, there could be instances where no manatee sightings would occur since it’s their nature to be unpredictable. The manatees typically return to the Gulf of Mexico, their primary food source. You’ll be educated on the appropriate methods of observing these fascinating creatures along with gaining insight into the ecosystem of Crystal River.
- Moderate physical activity is required to kayak/paddleboard and swim with the manatees.
