Discover the beauty of Crystal River, Florida, by joining our eco-conscious and small-group manatee snorkel tours. Immerse yourself in the natural habitat of these gentle creatures as you swim alongside them. With a maximum of 6 guests per boat, we prioritize heartfelt and sustainable experience that benefits both our guests and the manatees. Please remember that our manatees are not in captivity, so they are not trained to come up to you. These tours are conducted in their natural habitat, meaning that every tour we perform is different. All tours take place on Kings Bay, home to the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge with Three Sisters Springs and King Spring We are proud to be the only Manatee Tour Company in Crystal River Florida that has a education program for not only our manatees but now our onsite Aquarium with a focus on Native and Invasive species in Florida. The semi-private tour includes entry to the Aquarium

Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for the manatee swim experience?

A: Yes, there is a minimum age requirement of 5 years old to participate in the manatee swim. Kids under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. It's a great family activity! Just make sure they’re comfortable in the water and can swim with a life vest.

Q: What do we need to wear for this experience? Is it warm enough in the water?

A: You’ll be provided with a wetsuit, which is really nice since the water can be a bit chilly, especially in the mornings. Just wear a swimsuit underneath and maybe bring a towel for afterward. Sunscreen is a must too, so don’t forget that!

Q: What happens if the weather's bad? Will we get a refund?

A: If the weather conditions aren't safe for swimming, the tour will be canceled, and you'll be offered a full refund or the chance to reschedule. They take guest safety seriously! Just keep an eye on the forecast leading up to your date.

Just booked the manatee swim in Crystal River, super excited!

Hey everyone! I just booked the 3-hour manatee swim with Sea Daddys in Crystal River next month. They say the groups are pretty small, only 6 people max. I'm really hoping to see some of those gentle giants up close! I’m a little nervous about swimming in open water, though. Anyone have tips or experiences they can share? Also, how’s the photo package? Worth it?

Thinking about gifting the manatee swim experience!

Hi everyone! I’m considering giving my sister the manatee swim in Crystal River for her birthday. She loves animals, and this seems perfect! Is it really worth the price? Also, how early should I book? Thanks!
