Our Guide to Florida Adventure Tour – Swim with Manatees

This is an unmissable chance to witness the beauty of Florida’s natural side. The Manatee or Sea Cow as it is often known is an endangered species native to many of the lakes covering the region and there’s no better place to find them than at the Crystal River in Homosassa State Park. They are generally quite shy, completely harmless and have no teeth, feeding off the mangroves which somehow manage to support their massive 500kg bulk! After a relaxing boat ride along the Crystal River, you are encouraged to swim and snorkel with these gentle giants under the guidance of certified Dive Masters. Afterwards, enjoy a picnic style lunch over looking this beautiful sanctuary. Your afternoon starts with an exhilarating 45 minute airboat adventure on the beautiful Homosassa River; keep your eyes open for manatees, dolphins as well as a whole host of other wildlife that often accompany us. End the day with a visit to the State Wildlife Park to have a look at the local residents. These include more Manatees, which you’ll be able to observe during a feeding session, as well as bears, panthers, alligators and even a hippo.
