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

My wife and I returned to Tampa for a cruise so while in the area, we rented a car and drove to Homosassa Springs to snorkel with Manatees with the Homosassa Snorkeling Center. It was a short drive from Homosassa Riverside Resort where we stayed (reviewed elsewhere) to their shop. I had brought a "skin" for diving but with the... More

After the first stop he said well you have seen all the manatee you are going to see. At the persistence of our group he went on with reluctance !!! The boat was advertised as... More

I have wanted to snorkel with manatees for a couple of years now and have researched which companies were the best. I read that "Snorkel with Manatees" went on the Homossas River which was less crowded with people and more crowded with manatees. I was so glad I went with them. Erica was the captain of our boat with 3... More

Although it was a little chilly, Laura did her best to make sure everyone was as comfortable as possible. She is very knowledgable and takes her time to make sure that everyone can take the pictures that they want, as well as see all of the wildlife the area has to offer in addition to the manatees. Everyone who went... More

What an incredible experience! Everything was perfect from the weather to the playfullness of the manatees. We would like to say thank you to Laura;you were a great guide and very knowledgeable not only about the manatees, but the local geography, history and attractions. Anybody considering spending some time with these unique animals...DO IT ! you will have a great... More
