The West Indian Manatee is Crystal River's favorite native. By making Crystal River its winter home, the West Indian Manatee is befriended by the residents and visitors alike. Local Manatee tour guides, dive shops and charter boats offer trips starting from $39 from either Crystal River or Homosassa Springs.
Experience swimming with a manatee
Manatees are protected. Approaching a manatee and causing a change in the manatee's behavior is illegal harassment. The manatee adds over seven million dollars to the local economy. These are reasons why local guides, shops and motels cater to the manatee with particular interest. The manatee is Crystal River's friend.
Let us book you with the best manatee tour for your group.
