Swim with the Manatees in Crystal River Florida

I just returned from our private tour with Jake as our guide. Swimming with the manatees has been a dream of my wife for years and I arranged the tour for our 20 th anniversary. The experience far exceeded all or our expectations. Jake took us to an area away from all the crowds and spent a great deal of time with the manatees. We were very careful not to be too intrusive but they were so playful, we had them around from the time we got in the water until the time we left. We also had a great time with the other couple that was on the tour. We ended up having lunch together afterward and enjoyed a great time.Most people can look back on their lives and count on one hand the truly special days they have experienced. I would have to say that this was one of those days. Thanks for a great experience and making our 20th anniversary a very special day; we want to come back again and bring our kids. I'm sure we will be calling you again.

People all over the world travel here just to swim with the manatee's. Manatee's are playful mammals that swim into the 72' springs to avoid the cold temperatures of the Gulf of Mexico during the winter months. They have a tough leathery skin like an Elephant, and their flippers have toenails that look like flat elephant feet.
