Swim with the Manatees

Popular tours allow visitors to jump in with snorkel gear to have up close and personal encounters. Swimming with the manatees is an experience of a lifetime and can be enjoyed by the entire family. Plenty of tours are nearby. We could gladly recommend one for you.

Kayaking/Paddleboarding

Paddling to Three Sisters Spring Wildlife Refuge or along the seven mile Crystal River, is a must. Manatees are easily visible.  Rentals are nearby, some will deliver and pickup right from here. Also check out Rainbow Springs, Weeki Wachee, and The Chassahowitzka which are located less than an hour away.
