I found Snorkel with Manatees through an internet search and actually lucked out on finding a high-quality tour. It's very laid-back and casual - located in a small harbor on a river. You're still a ways away from the Gulf, so I was disappointed that we didn't have Gulf views. We rented a car and drove there and had no... More

Captain Gene is an absolute gentleman, and very knowledgeable about all the animals/wildlife in the area. The prices are more than reasonable, and the experience was absolutely incredible! Do not pass it up if you're trying to make up your mind!

We went on May 31, 2013, which we found out is way past the normal manatee viewing season. This year however, was different due to weathersand manatees were still in the area. We were lucky enough to go out with Captain Laura. We arrived a little early for the VIP tour on the Homosassa River. We chose the VIP just... More

We had a great time, one thing I wish I would have planned for was not going over a holiday weekend. We did get to see a few manatees but now that we know the best time to see them and swim with them is more in the winter months. The springs was beautiful, and our tour guide was great!... More

This was my first time doing anything like this. I was scared too. Thanks to our wonderful captain I conquered my fear and was able to enjoy the manatees.

These big cuddly sea creatures are an attraction not to miss. We were up in the wee hours of the morning to catch the 1st boat out and snorkel with the Manatees. The kids were just tickled and I have to say Alan and I were too. We are scuba divers, but this snorkel trip tops many others. The Manatee... More

Our captain was Erica. She was the greatest, so helpful. When we all got in the water she'd help spot the manatees for us. We even got back on the boat a few times to find them as it was spring break week and a section of the river had people playing loud music and scared the manatees away. My... More

Captain Laura went out of her way to ensure that we had a great trip, even though it was late in the season to experience a large number of manatees. We also had threatening weather, but were able to enjoy the full amount of time, interacting with manatees as much as we wanted. She honored special requests and was great... More

This review is based off of a Living Social purchase that was made a good year in advance of the actual Snorkel experience. We had scheduled one previous visit that was cancelled due to the boat breaking down, and attempted daily calls in case of a cancelation to reschedule. We had no luck with the dailies, so we scheduled a... More
