Crystal River Manatee Swim Or Boat Ride From Orlando

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 is where you can snorkel - 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 (wetsuits hire is $15 and required for swimmers) you board the boat. You do not have to swim or snorkel, you can opt enjoy the boat ride looking for nature alone should you prefer. When manatees are spotted you can get into the river should you wish, get some great photos. In the afternoon explore Homosassa State Park. The park is home of many species of native wildlife that have been rescued. You are there at lunchtime, so you can opt to purchase it from the park cafe, or bring yourself a picnic if you prefer.
