If you've ever dreamt of swimming with manatees in their natural habitat, Florida’s Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge is where to go. Established in 1983, the 177-acre (71-hectare) refuge is home to America’s largest concentration of the gentle giants. West Indian Manatees flock to the more than 70 turquoise-colored springs in Crystal River for warmth during winter. With hundreds of manatees in a small area, sightings are frequent.

Amazing swim with the manatees
Communication about the pick up location/time was excellent. John our driver gave us regular updates on arrival times etc & useful information on where we were visiting. The swim with the manatees was amazing, the guides were friendly & knowledgeable. A couple of hours at the national park was enough to grab lunch & see everything. All in all, a fantastic experience & great value for money.

A Great Experience
Great day. Manatees were amazing, shame that the water was murky after the hurrricane but it can't be helped. Team who took us out were amazing. Greg the driver was also fantastic. The pickupwas early but we were back in the hotel for 3pm which meant there was more time to enjoy the parks later in the day.
