With this experience, you will head out to Kings Bay in Crystal River to explore the home of manatees. You will board a boat that is US Coast Guard–certified, which means the vessel can carry more than six people and have all the necessary safety equipment. An in-water guide will be with you to teach you about interacting with the gentle creatures to ensure that the experience will be safe for you and the manatees. Your guide will double as your personal photographer to capture your experience in photos and videos.
