Come and enjoy the real Florida! Get up-close with the gentle manatee and see the beauty of Crystal River as you explore the Homosassa State Wildlife Park. The tour heads up to Crystal River where you can snorkel or swim in the rivers where wild manatees live. It's an early morning departure, so bring breakfast snacks to eat during the journey. Following a safety briefing and collecting your mask, snorkel & fins (wetsuit hire is $15 and required for swimmers) you board the boat. When manatees are spotted you can get into the river for great photos. If you prefer, you can opt to simply enjoy the boat ride while enjoying nature. In the afternoon explore Homosassa State Park. The park is home to many species of rescued native wildlife. If you purchase the Florida Adventure Tour fully inclusive option, you will also ride a Wild Airboat Ride on a river to spot the alligators and nature and enjoy a picnic lunch.

What an amazing experience - we got a package that collected us from Orlando, it was an early start but worth it. Upon arrival the team were brilliant setting us up with wet suits quickly. We watched the mandatory safety video and then we were out on the water with Mike and Anna. They were brilliant, we were in the water and quickly saw a manatee mother and baby. I was worried that we were invading their space but for big animals they will tolerate you for so long before swimming off… even though we thought we knew what to expect when you first see a manatee in the water it’s awe inspiring. Highly recommend!

The staff was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely come back again. Very interactive and did a great job to make sure we were able to see the Manatee.

It was the most weird/cool/amazing experience. Is a must do in life. We had so much fun. And we got to see a dolphin that came in the river to fish.
