Q&A
A: There aren't strict age restrictions, but kids should be 5 years or older. They need to be comfortable in the water and able to swim a little. It's a family-friendly experience, so younger kids can definitely join as long as they're accompanied by parents.
A: I’d recommend wearing a swimsuit under the wet suit they provide. The 5mm suits are really warm, so you might get a little hot inside them! Also, don’t forget sunscreen for any exposed skin before you get in the water.
A: If the weather's too rough, they’ll usually reschedule the experience for you. They keep an eye on the conditions to ensure safety. Just make sure to call them ahead of your scheduled time to confirm, and they'll let you know if it’s a go or no-go.

Thinking about booking a private manatee swim - any tips?
I’m considering gifting the private manatee swim experience for my partner’s birthday. Has anyone done this? I love that it’s for up to 6 people, plus the in-water guide sounds awesome! Just wondering what the best time of year is to go or if there’s anything I should know before booking.
What an unforgettable experience! Just did the manatee swim!
OMG, I just did the private manatee swim at Crystal River, and it was amazing! The guides were so professional and friendly. Swimming next to those gentle giants was surreal. The hot cocoa afterward was a nice touch too! If anyone's on the fence about this, just go for it! You won't regret it!
