Crystal River is home to beautiful fresh water springs, a large variety of wildlife, and or course our famous manatee residents! This in-water manatee snorkel experience is EXTRA special since the 6-passenger boat is strictly dedicated to you and your party and includes a FREE photo package. ($40 value.)
Each winter between 700 and 1000 manatees migrate here seeking out our three first magnitude spring systems, each with a constant temperature of 72° to 74° F (23° C). Even in the warm summer months, Crystal River has a local population of 70-100 manatees that remain here year round. Due to efforts by many local, state and federal entities, our manatee population is thriving. We feel that an in-water swim experience is an important part of this education and conservation effort. Our team of highly trained in-water guides ensure your experience with this cherished and threatened species is handled with the utmost care and respect by encouraging passive observation.

Captain Kim is the BEST!! She has so much knowledge and enthusiasm about Manatees. She is very loving and respectful to these beautiful sea creatures in their habitat. Upon arrival, you’ll be briefed with a quick and informative video. Then fitted for wetsuits and off to the marina. We loved every minute and can’t wait to book our next trip!! Captains Kim and Ed are the amazing!! Tell them we said Hi!!

As someone who’s grown up in Florida and RESPECTS THE KNOWLEDGE OF NATURE this company has BEYOND impressed me. Our tour was informative, exciting, calm cool and collective! To be guided in the water by someone who can make an entire group of people feel safe while an enjoying and experience with a beautiful mammal in the wild is so amazing 😻 and then to come back and see the detailed intimate photos and videos of our tour that you didn’t even know where being captured while enjoying your life-changing trip….. made that trip that much better can’t thank enough ! Will certainly be sharing this company specifically with everyone I come across as a local Floridian, family owned business lover and supporter and environmental enthusiast thank, you again to Captain Kim and her crew! ❤️🥰😌😊

March is not ideal but our captain and guide found two manatees and we spent a lot of time watching them. Everything was great.

We had an amazing experience snorkeling with the manatees! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. The captain and in water guide were fantastic — they shared so many interesting facts about the manatees and kept the trip fun with jokes along the way. The heated cabin was such a welcome bonus on the ride back to the dock, especially after being in the water. They even provided hot chocolate and coffee to help everyone warm up, which was such a thoughtful touch. Truly the best customer service — you can tell they genuinely care about their guests and making the experience special. We would absolutely do this again and highly recommend them!

The guides were knowledgeable, respectful of the wildlife, and made safety and conservation a priority. They explained how important it is to remain passive observers — letting the manatees choose the interaction. That respect made the experience feel even more meaningful. The drome pictures were perfect. I highly recommend going through Salty Sirens tours.

Don’t miss a manatee tour with salty siren, they were so incredibly fantastic. The pictures they provided were amazing, our guide was wonderful, we saw manatees and spent a lot of time in the water. We never felt rushed or pressured. What an amazing experience, I just can’t say enough.

Captain Ed, Kim and Aubrie pulled out all the stops to make my bucket list absolutely amazing! To make sure my special needs son was able to get on a boat and watch the manatees was an experience we will never forget! The boat is heated and we were served hot cocoa after our swim. The underwater pictures and the drone videos were top notch! We could feel their heart in all they did for us to passively observe these gentle giants. We had the added treat of a certain manatee recognizing Aubrie and showing off for her by rolling in front of her. He also came up to her as if to say “see ya later pretty lady” as we were swimming back to the boat❤️

Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! There were hundreds of manatees in the springs. Captain Ed, Aubrie, and Captain Kim are simply the BEST! I took my nine-year-old and seven year-old grandchildren for the very first time. Our day was absolutely incredible. My heart is so happy! Salty Siren Tours & Charters is top notch!
