THE ENDANGERED EXPRESS - 'The OG' Swim with Manatee Tour AND Gulf Airboat Ride and Dolphin Quest

If you want a full day of adventure, boy o boy, do we have the plan for you! If you are coming to Crystal River for the manatees, then why not stay for an air boat tour on the beautiful Homosassa River? We can set it all up for you, and take care of the details from beginning to end! We always recommend an early manatee tour, and then we will set you up on the next available air boat that coordinates with the end of your manatee experience. Our air boats run from our River Safari location about a 20 minute drive South of Crystal River and is the perfect compliment to the manatee snorkel tour. Time between tours could be up to 1.5 hours, please call for exact times and availability for airboat tour. TOUR #1: Swim with the Manatee Tour - Crystal River

Your tour will run three hours from start to finish and everything you will need is included for one price. You will begin at our full-service tour facility, where you will be educated about the animals in a classroom type setting and receive tips for your snorkel tour to make the most of your day. You will be taught the in’s and out’s of ‘passive interaction’ as this ensures that the animals enjoy the experience as much as we do!
