Experience the unique opportunity of swimming alongside manatees at Crystal River in Florida, their natural setting. Our tour restricts the number of travelers to no more than 6 per boat, providing an exclusive, memorable rendezvous which is equally advantageous for our guests and the manatees. Eye the distinctive SeaDaddys welcome as soon as you get there, complete with a warm friendly smile and a cordial reception at SeaDaddys!
Bear in mind, our manatees are not captive, thus they are not adapted to approach humans. As the tours are held in their indigenous environment, every tour we organize is unique in its own way.
Set aside approximately 3 ½ hours for the whole process including the preparatory procedures preceding your tour.
