Deluxe Manatee Swim Tour

Your Deluxe Manatee Swim Tour provides a unique opportunity to view Florida's Nature Coast.  Your tour will take you past a state Archaeological Park, a State Nature Preserve and to a National Wildlife Refuge. You may view up to 57 varieties of birds, river otters, deer, pigs dolphins, a variety of fish and turtles besides the opportunity to swim in the area of the gentle giants manatees.

You will arrive and be provided with in-water gear.  Included are your wet suit, mask, snorkel and a flotation device.  Once you arrive and get fitted, you will receive an educational briefing on manatees and how to be in their area.  You will board your small group vessel (6-10) and leave right from our marina location. Your USCG Licensed Captain and in-water guide will narrate the trip, point out birds and critters and of course be in the water with you.  Once you are done swimming, there will be hot cocoa or water on-board for you.

You will be encouraged to behave as a manatee in the water. Slow, Calm and quiet.  Floating and allowing the manatee to choose how he wants to be. They are wild animals and we are entering their space. Passive Observation is best.
