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 9 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.

Here’s a suggested review you can copy or adjust as you like: ---Mixed Experience on the Manatee Tour We recently went on a manatee tour and had a mixed experience. The crew was friendly and tried their best, but it took a long time to actually find a manatee - well over an hour - and both the adults and the kids in the group were getting bored and frustrated that we seemed to be the only boat struggling to find any manatees. Eventually we did encounter one. However the visibility in the water was so poor and it was very difficult to see more than a foot or so in front of you, so we didn't see very much at all - fleeting glimpses. We hadn't expected that as as there had been nothing in the advertisements to suggest the visibility may be so poor. That said, our kids still enjoyed it when we eventually found a manatee, and our guide prioritised them to ensure they had a good chance to see them, which was great. Personally I only saw the top of one manatee briefly as it swan underneath me. Overall, it wasn’t quite what we hoped for. We appreciate it's nature and it's unpredictable, however we were disappointed at the time it took to find a manatee and the lack of visibility with the very brief encounters we had. However it may be more enjoyable in different seasons and if the water is indeed 'crystal' clear. Our experience was that Crystal River wasn't so Crystal clear. An expensive lonf day for us with the 2 hour drive each way, with sadly little to show for it. Overall - kids enjoyed it once they were in the water, adults disappointed. Staff were lovely! ---

HANNAH & KEN were amazing! This is a majestic and wonderful experience! We saw 10-20 manatees. W babies. All types of manatees. It was a cold day so Captain Ken brought hot coco and warm water to warm us up after we came back in the boat. Would do this again with visitors or anyone really. Thanks again SeaDaddys!!

This was such an amazing experience! Our semi-private tour turned into a private tour as it was just myself and my mother that booked a reservation for the day and time we went. Both the captain and my guide were wonderful. They were able to answer all of our questions and made the tour wonderful. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Emmitt the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and captain Michelle drove us around safely. We saw 1 manatee and hung out in that area for about 20 minutes and as a group decided to get back on the boat and look for more. We didn’t find any more but did have a nice boat ride with nice scenery and saw 4 gators. Happy with our purchase.

The water is murky and it may be difficult to make out the manatee right away. Aubry is very skilled and conscientious about the welfare and engagement of her participants.

Great experience! It was a little crowded this time of year which I believe scared the manatees away, but our captain and guide did a great job of finding them. This was our 2nd time so it's definitely work it!
