Overview

    An excellent opportunity to escape from the theme parks and see the real Florida... Get up-close with the gentle manatee and see the beauty of Crystal River as you explore the Homosassa State Wildlife Park. This tour is nature at its best!

    After picking up guests in International Drive, Lake Buena Vista and Kissimmee we head to Crystal River. Bagged breakfast is provided to eat enroute. Crystal River is the only area of Florida where you can snorkel / swim in the rivers where manatees live in the wild.

    Following a safety briefing and collecting your mask, snorkel & fins (wetsuits can be hired for a fee) you board the boat onto the river. You do not have to swim or snorkel and again enjoy the boat ride looking for nature alone should you prefer.

    When manatees are spotted you can get into the river should you wish, get some great photos.

    Enjoy lunch at a local cafe, before spending the afternoon at the State Park. See rescued native wildlife. True Florida!

What to Expect

    Come and enjoy the real Florida! Get up-close with the gentle manatee and see the beauty of Crystal River as you explore the Homosassa State Wildlife Park. The tour heads up to Crystal River where you can snorkel or swim in the rivers where wild manatees live. It's an early morning departure, so bring breakfast snacks to eat during the journey. Following a safety briefing and collecting your mask, snorkel & fins (wetsuit hire is $15 and required for swimmers) you board the boat. When manatees are spotted you can get into the river for great photos. If you prefer, you can opt to simply enjoy the boat ride while enjoying nature. In the afternoon explore Homosassa State Park. The park is home to many species of rescued native wildlife. If you purchase the Florida Adventure Tour fully inclusive option, you will also ride a Wild Airboat Ride on a river to spot the alligators and nature and enjoy a picnic lunch.
