Discover the beauty of Crystal River, Florida, by joining our eco-conscious and small-group manatee snorkel tours. Immerse yourself in the natural habitat of these gentle creatures as you swim alongside them. With a maximum of 6 guests per boat, we prioritize heartfelt and sustainable experience that benefits both our guests and the manatees.
Please remember that our manatees are not in captivity, so they are not trained to come up to you. These tours are conducted in their natural habitat, meaning that every tour we perform is different. All tours take place on Kings Bay, home to the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge with Three Sisters Springs and King Spring
We are proud to be the only Manatee Tour Company in Crystal River Florida that has a education program for not only our manatees but now our onsite Aquarium with a focus on Native and Invasive species in Florida. The semi-private tour includes entry to the Aquarium

WOW! What an amazing trip! Aubrey was our guide and Ken was our boat Captain. They were amazing! Aubrey was so knowledgable on the environment and the manatees. Ken was a great captain and made the boat ride enjoyable even in the cold!

This was so much fun! All of the staff were fantastic! Our tour guide was surprisingly good at keeping track of us all and making sure we were doing good the whole time. Make sure to visit the aquarium that they offer as a part of most packages! It was so cute and the guy that runs it is very knowledgable and seems to really enjoy the animals!

Saw a few groups of manatee. Nice that it was a small group. Go early if the weather permits it so it isn't so crowded in the viewing areas.

Collin and Captain Michelle took us out. We experienced manatees up close. Both had great attitudes and were very helpful.

I chose SeaDaddy's for my family's manatee swim because they were one of the only guide services in Crystal River that allowed a 1 year old on the tour without having to book the entire boat for a private tour. The crew was SO kind and patient with us as we navigated nursing and diaper changes as we were getting to leave. They ended up taking our family of 4 out on our own boat away from the rest of the group since we were moving at a bit slower pace than everyone else and at NO extra charge! They adequately prepared us for the experience and were so full of interesting manatee facts! The captain and two in-water guides clearly loved being out there with us and really helped us make the most of the experience! I can't recommend this place enough!

The guides were great. They took us to an area that didn’t have other tour groups and were very watchful that everyone in our large group didn’t do anything to scare the manatees. They also took lots of pics for us.
