Crystal River VIP Manatee Tour

Fulfill your dream of swimming with manatees on our VIP Manatee Tour. Our tours have no more than 6 people, making your experience swimming with the manatees semi-private and intimate. This tour is offered only during the best season for seeing manatees: early mornings in winter. We are a proud member of the Save the Manatee Club Guardian Guide Program, dedicated to protecting the manatees as we swim alongside them and promoting responsible eco-tourism.

Begin your tour by cruising down the Indian River to Crystal River, taking in the scenery and watching out for any dolphins, river otters, bald eagles, and other birds that you might see. Once your tour guide spots manatees, it’s time to get in the water! Swim right alongside the manatees, watching them face-to-face in their own natural habitat. With an in-water guide swimming with you, your experience will be as tranquil and incredible as you’ve always imagined. If there’s still time left, you’ll also get to swim in Three Sisters Spring, a beautiful nature area with crystal clear water. Before you leave, don’t forget to grab your manatee-shaped thumb drive with pictures taken by your in-water guide so that you can remember your incredible adventure for years to come!
