Important Information

  • Due to the natural conditions of this experience, an encounter with the Manatees cannot be guaranteed. However, the expert Coast Guard-certified boat captains will do everything possible to make this happen. There is a population of around 80 Manatees that live in the Crystal River year-round with numbers swelling to around 300 in the winter months.
  • Wetsuits are not included in the tour price. These must be rented on the day for $15.00 and act as an excellent buoyancy aid. Any person wishing to do the manatee swim must hire a wetsuit prior to boat departure. The water temperature is around 72 degrees Fahrenheit year-round, the main purpose of wearing a wet suit is to aid buoyancy and minimise surface splashing which can scare manatees away.
  • Water can vary from 4 feet to 24 feet deep. Pool noodles are provided for all guests but anybody wishing to go in the water should be able to at least float calmly.
  • Please wear a swimsuit under clothes in the morning as it will make things easier upon arrival at the dive shop.
  • Please bring towels and a change of clothes for after the dive time.
  • All timings are approximate and subject to change.
  • The Florida Adventure Tour runs from central location points in Orlando and you will need to make your own way to one of these departure points. Your nearest pick-up location will be confirmed locally upon tour reconfirmation. Please arrive at your meeting location at least 15 minutes prior to the departure time. Wait outside the meeting point as the guides will not go into lobbies or stores to look for guests.
  • This tour is not be available on some holidays, including Thanksgiving and Christmas Day
  • Gratuities are not included for the tour guides or drivers. Gratuities are not mandatory but are encouraged upon receipt of good service.
  • If you use a wheelchair, please inform us when making your booking.
  • We recommend guests bring breakfast with them on the tour vehicle to eat, as there is often not chance to stop en route to the river in the mornings.
