Encuentro Mágico: Nado Privado con Manatíes y Fotos VIP

Our family enjoyed our experience swimming with the manatees. We went at the end of December at 6AM and would say the earlier, the better when it comes to avoiding crowds. Although it was a very foggy and chilly morning, our captain, Dan, and our guide, Aubrey, did their very best to find manatees for us to swim with. They were welcoming, kind, and conversational. Aubrey captured some great photos and videos, and Captain Dan was extremely helpful. We would definitely recommend this experience!

Your North Dakota friends loved the experience! Dive master Laura and Captain Dave were awesome! One of the coolest experiences I’ve ever done! Look forward to coming back and doing it again!

Such an amazing experience! Our dive master, Laura and our captain (sorry, I can’t remember his name) were phenomenal! They provided so much information about the manatees and the area. They made this experience far exceed our expectations! We will definitely be back to do this again!

Very pleasent trip with our captain Daniel and mermaid Amanda as swimguide. They were friendly and helpful. Fantastic!!😁

For an unbelievable experience, book your next trip with PLANTATION CRYSTAL RIVER ADVENTURE CENTER. Their team of Captains and Dive Masters are all Fabulous about finding where the Manatees are for our SWIM WITH MANATEES TOUR. Laura found us 2 babies that just loved people and wouldn't leave us alone. This experience for our out of town Family that came along, was tremendous! Henry and Laura made it a Fantastic Experience that we all know we will do again soon ! The BEST TIME TO VISIT is right now in the summer months. The crowds are small and you get much more time with the manatees. I can't wait to go back !

Amazing experience and a great company to do it with. We saw many manatees and the dive master and captain really made sure we got the most out of our trip. It was clear how much they cared for the manatees, and other wild life, and how they just wanted to share their enthusiasm for them with others. The dive master and captain were both very knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer any questions. The coats and hot chocolate on the way back were much appreciated extra's. 100% recommend.

Amazing experience. Shout out to Tyler and Capt Aaron, had an absolute great time and will definitely go again! Truly grateful the weather held up for us.

It was fantastic. We liked it very much. Had seen a lot of manatees. It was worth the money. And the pictures our guide made are also fantastic. A great experience.

We had an awesome time! Going first thing in the morning was the best time. Got to see the sunrise and swim with manatees right away. Laura and Mark were great guides. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

We had so much fun! I (and some of my family members) had never been snorkeling before; however, our guide/captain: Tyler/Corey, made it an easy and fun experience! I highly recommend the adventure center for anyone, but especially those who have never been snorkeling/diving before as they provide everything from wetsuits to snorkel gear, and even hot chocolate/coffee😋 We booked a private tour and for the price it was well worth it! I loved seeing the manatees and will definitely be back to see the sweet babies again!!
