Swim with Wild Manatees – Departing from Crystal River
Description
Change into your wetsuit and snorkel, and dive into the heart of the Crystal River wildlife park. You will meet wild manatees which you can touch and stroke!
** THIS CRUISE IS ONLY AVAILABLE DEPARTING FROM CRYSTAL RIVER, A CITY LOCATED ABOUT 90 MINS FROM BOTH CENTRAL TAMPA AND ORLANDO. YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN WAY FROM TAMPA TO CRYSTAL RIVER**
Get up close to wild manatees in a protected natural park!
Departing from Crystal River, you board a small boat and put on your diving equipment (dive suit, mask and snorkel). You'll first enjoy a short cruise on the river to admire the magnificent natural scenery.
When you arrive in the wild manatee's habitat, you'll slip into the water to swim in their company! Slowly and in silence, they will come up to you to get to know you better... with their impressive size and their gentle and peaceful character, these creatures are very endearing. You will have approximately 90 minutes to touch, pet and play with the manatees.
You'll then make the calm journey back to the bank with plenty of amazing memories!
