Q&A
A: There’s no strict age limit, but kids should be at least 5 years old to comfortably wear a wetsuit and swim with the manatees. It’s really about whether they can handle the water and the experience. Also, adults need to supervise their children at all times. Just make sure they’re comfortable in the water!
A: If the weather is too severe to safely go out, they typically reschedule your tour. They really prioritize safety. I suggest calling them a day or two before to confirm if you’re unsure – they’re super friendly and can answer any specific questions you have!
A: You’ll want to wear a swimsuit under the wetsuit they provide. It gets a bit chilly when you’re in the water, especially if it's windy. A light jacket might be nice for before and after the swim. Also, don’t forget sunscreen and a hat if you’re sensitive to the sun!

Just did the Manatee Swim and it was AMAZING!
I took my family on the Manatee Magic tour last weekend, and it was such a freaking blast! We swam with the manatees in the Homosassa River and it felt like a dream. The boat was heated and had a restroom, which was super convenient. The kids got stuffed manatees afterward, and the hot chocolate was a nice touch! Honestly, I can't recommend this enough if you love nature – a must-do in Crystal River!
Thinking of gifting the Manatee Swim experience – any tips?
I'm looking to get this experience for my wife’s birthday. She LOVES animals, especially sea life! I’m a bit nervous about logistics, like parking and what to expect. Anyone have tips or advice?
