After your unforgettable swim with the manatees, continue your adventure with lunch or dinner along the beautiful Homosassa River.
Relax at our summertime riverside resort destination where you can enjoy waterfront dining, tropical drinks, island vibes, and the peaceful charm of Homosassa.
Our Swim, Sip & Dine with Manatees Tour is one of our most popular experiences and includes a 3-hour guided snorkeling adventure through the scenic spring-fed waters of Homosassa Springs, Florida. Cruise the river with your small group as your captain searches for our resident manatees and teaches you how to safely interact with these gentle sea cows through passive observation.
When the time is right, slip into the crystal-clear water for an unforgettable manatee encounter. Wetsuits, snorkel gear, and water noodles are provided, and you may even spot dolphins, monkeys, birds, and other local wildlife along the way.
This is more than just a tour — it’s the complete Homosassa river experience.
