Overview

Step aboard for an intimate adventure with Crystal River’s most beloved residents, the Florida manatee. This semi-private experience is limited to just six passengers, ensuring a relaxed and personalized journey on the water. Our company includes everything: Snorkel gear, wetsuits, and a photo package.

Your U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain and in-water guide will take you to the best spots to encounter manatees in their natural habitat. With small group sizes, you’ll have more space, more time in the water, and more opportunities for one-on-one guidance and wildlife education. We also include photos and videos on all trips.

Snorkel alongside these peaceful creatures, learn about their behaviors, and capture unforgettable memories, all while enjoying the comfort and ease of a smaller group.

Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or looking to join a small group, this semi-private tour offers the perfect balance of privacy, adventure, and affordability.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on All-inclusive 6-person Manatee Swim Tour with Free Photos?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

Top10Adventures® wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Top10Adventures® over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
