What To Expect

Our signature activity! Hop aboard our small passenger vessel for an intimate snorkel with the Florida Manatee! We take you through scenic King's Bay in Crystal River, Florida in search of the wild Florida Manatees.
We specialize in small group and private manatee snorkeling tours. Upon arrival, you will be introduced to your in-water tour guide who will lead you to your boat and take photos every step of the way!
During the boat ride out, our in-water guide and captain educate guests on the proper way to snorkel with the protected wildlife and ensure a fun and safe experience for all ages! Once we find a manatee in our 600-acre Bay, we exit the boat and snorkel with the manatee. Our guide leads guests to the manatees and takes in-water photos throughout the entire tour. Indulge in up-close encounters as you glide gracefully alongside one of nature's most impressive, yet gentle animals. The manatees' size and sweet demeanor make for an unforgettable snorkeling experience that is fit for snorkelers of all experience levels. Remember, this is a true wildlife adventure and conditions vary day-to-day but our crew will do everything they can to give you the experience of a lifetime!

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.
