This is the half day version of our popular Real Florida Manatee Adventure. This version includes just the pontoon boat snorkeling trip, lunch, transportation and of course your super star tour guide!
You’ve come all the way to Florida, so it makes sense to actually see some of the actual 100% REAL Florida.

Your experience begins with full overview of what’s in store as we head out to the beautiful Crystal River area on the Gulf coast, 80 miles north-west of Orlando. This is the Manatee Capital of the World, and the only place in America where it is legal to swim with manatees.
It is also home to stunning natural springs and lots of wildlife, and you’ll get to meet an essential part of it as we gear up for the signature Manatee Snorkel under the supervision of a Coast Guard Certified Captain *. You will learn all about the unique West Indian manatee – and then get to see some of them, up close and personal in the crystal-clear waters!
* NB: any person wishing to do the manatee swim must hire a wetsuit prior to boat departure. Wetsuit rental is handled when you arrive at the manatee boat tour. Snorkel equipment is provided free. Flotation devices are available for your use. Life vests are available if needed.
