Snorkel with Manatees has been providing quality manatee tours and snorkeling tours for over 12 years. When starting this business it was from the love of water and interacting with wildlife. Introducing mother nature to families from around the world to our local residents (manatees and dolphins), which support our conduct.
This business is designed to educate the public about the wildlife and it's habitat in citrus county. As with some tour operators that cater to mass quantity's of people all at once, we choose to cater to the mass quantity's of people a little at a time.
............Boat Operations
By keeping our boat capacity's to 6 pack boats (6 passenger's only on a 10 passenger boat) it allows the customer to have the entire boat instead of a little spot to sit. This also allows us to keep our cost of operation down to pass it along to you. This also keeps so many people from congregating around manatees and allows for a better personal encounter and less impact on the manatees habitat. You do not need 6 passengers to book a tour, we just only allow 6 per boat.
The captains and crews that are employed by our business always ensure the safety for our passengers and the habitat, to allow our future generations to be able to enjoy in the future. We would like to thank you in advanced for your support and encouragement of this wonderful opportunity to explore this wildlife encounter.

Snorkeling................
This boat tour is recommended for all ages, However we recommend ages from two years old and up. You can choose to swim/snorkel or just ride on the boat. This manatee encounter is one of many Bucket List items and people travel from all over the world to interact with these majestic giants.

Water conditions........
The spring waters are always 72 degrees f (21 Celsius) all year, this makes our waters feel very warm through the Citrus County winter months. The cooler months October thru March is when the manatees stay and visit us in the clear spring waters to maintain their body warmth. These months give us the best viewing of manatees in the spring waters. During the summer months, the manatees can tolerate the bay waters which are 80 degrees plus. The bay waters may not be the clearest during the Summer months but offer a manatee, food and warmth which is much needed for the manatee to survive. This encounter is done in the inland waters of Crystal River and the Homosassa River year round. Thunderstorms typically do not affect our manatee tours for we are inland and not out in the gulf waters which are connected to the spring waters by river and Canals. If the weather Channel calls for a 60% chance of rain! It typically means a 60% chance of rain for 5 minutes. So thunder storms usually don't affect our tours.

Tour Times 8 AM and 11:30 AM........
Both tour times are equal for manatee encounters, let me explain. The manatees behavior all depends on what they do the night before, such
