Q&A
A: Yes, children as young as 6 can join the tour, but they must be accompanied by an adult. It’s a great activity for families! Just keep in mind that younger kids may need a little extra help in the water, so consider their comfort level with swimming.
A: If the weather conditions are unsafe, they will reschedule the tour. They’re really good about keeping guests informed. You’ll get a full refund if you can’t make a new date that works for you, but usually, they try to accommodate everyone as best as they can.
A: Yes, they provide wetsuits and other gear like masks and fins! Just wear a swimsuit underneath and bring a towel for afterwards. Flip-flops or water shoes are a good idea too since the boat can be slippery. And don’t forget your sunscreen!

Just booked the Manatee Snorkel Tour! Anyone have tips?
So I just booked the Manatee Snorkel Tour at American Pro Diving Center in Crystal River for next month! I’m super excited! I can’t stop thinking about swimming with the manatees. Is there anything special I should know before we go? I heard the guides are great, but what about the best times to go?
Just went on the Manatee Snorkel Tour - WOW!
I just came back from the Manatee Snorkel Tour at American Pro Diving Center, and it was AMAZING! The guides were super friendly and really knowledgeable. We saw so many manatees swimming right next to us. They even filmed the whole thing for us! Totally worth it. Just a heads up, wear something comfy and don’t forget the sunscreen!
