Manatee Snorkeling Adventure Tour with Lunch & Hotel Pickup

Begin your adventure with convenient transportation from the Orlando area as you travel toward the beautiful springs of Crystal River. Along the way, your guide shares information about Florida's wildlife, ecosystems, and the endangered manatees that call the area home.

Upon arrival, board a narrated river cruise through the wildlife refuge where manatees gather in the warm spring-fed waters. Guests receive snorkeling equipment and, under the supervision of certified dive professionals, may enter the water to observe and swim alongside these gentle creatures in a safe and respectful manner.

After your manatee encounter, continue to Homosassa State Park, a renowned wildlife rehabilitation facility where guests can observe rescued native Florida animals. Visit the underwater manatee viewing area and explore exhibits featuring black bears, Florida panthers, alligators, birds, and even a hippopotamus.
