Itinerary

After boarding the tour vehicle we will head off towards Citrus County, and the famous Crystal River, the only place in the world where it is legal to swim and snorkel with wild manatees. After some information from our professional tour guide and a safety presentation at the dive shop, you will be fully prepared for your boat ride.

The Coast Guard Certified Boat Captain will slowly cruise down the river looking for the wild manatees in the Crystal River. You can choose to snorkel and swim in the crystal-clear water, or just sit back, relax, and enjoy the natural surroundings on the boat tour. Manatees, also known sea cows, are gentle giants and when snorkeling in the river where they often swim, they sometimes come to greet you or even roll over to be tickled. You cannot approach wild manatees; they are wild on the river but if we spot them, manatees often will come near to humans. This is an experience you don't want to miss out on.

Back on solid ground you will have chance to change at the dive shop before we head to lunch. A picnic lunch can be eaten in a city park before we head back to Central Florida. Arriving back into the Orlando area round 1pm, this tour really is a half day tour to see the manatees!
