With no more than 6 people, enjoy intimate and semi-private swimming with the manatees of Crystal River. Fulfil your dream of swimming with Florida's manatees on a VIP swim and snorkel tour.
Begin your tour cruising down the Indian River to Crystal River, taking in the scenery and watching out for dolphins, river otters, bald eagles, and other birds that call the area home. As you glide along the water, your guide will go through the guidelines for sharing the water in the safest way for the manatees.
When the manatees have been located, it’s time to get in the water. Swim right alongside the curious creatures, watching them face-to-face in their own natural habitat. With an in-water guide swimming with you, your experience will be as relaxed and unforgettable as you’ve always imagined.
If there’s time, you’ll also get to swim in Three Sisters Spring, a beautiful nature area with crystal-clear water. Before you leave, don’t forget to grab your manatee-shaped thumb drive with pictures taken by your in-water guide so that you can remember your incredible adventure for years to come.
This tour is offered only during the best season for seeing manatees: early mornings in winter. We are a proud member of the Save the Manatee Club Guardian Guide Programme, dedicated to protecting the manatees as we swim alongside them and promoting responsible eco-tourism.
