From the fabulous sunrise to experiencing the manatees in their own environment, our day on the water with Captain Gene was unparallaled. This is by far the best way to swim with these magnficient creatures. The leisurely voyage down Homosassa Spring along with gently floating in the water for the manatees to come up for air made for a tremendous... More

My family lives about 3 hours away from the Homosassa River, but we had friends visiting from Pa and they found this attraction to go swimming/snorkeling with the Manatees that they wanted to try. We booked it with Captain Gene at the Homosassa River VIP Manatee snorkel Swim in Florida. It was awesome. The weather was cold, but it was... More

This experience was great from start to finish. We were lucky enough to book our tour on a day when the weather had been very cold, and the Manatees were gathered in large numbers in the warmer water of the river near the sanctuary. Captain Gene was informative, friendly, caring and considerate of the creature's well being as well as... More

Loved it!! Went to the Bahamas and swam with Dolphins this was even better. Went to their natural habitat and just floated and they came to us. Such sweet gentle giants. Tour was fantastic. Boat ride out they explained how to deal with the manatees and all the information you should know before you hop in the water. Tour guide... More

Snorkeling With Manatees Is an excellent snorkeling company. Our captain snorkeled with us and showed us exactly where the manatees were located. They instructed us on the proper way to approach the manatee so we didn't frighten them. This company takes only 6 clients on the boat and takes clients to a less people populated area. They helped us feel... More

An amazing way to spend the day. My parents and I went on the 11am VIP Homosassa tour with Captain Gene. Captain Gene was very friendly and informative about the nature that lived in the area. When we were heading to the manatee area we saw two bald eagles, and two dolphins. When we close to the manatee area were... More

My wife and I went on a snorkel trip to swim with the manatees in the Homosassa River with this company last Wednesday. It was frigid cold (which makes for great manatee sightings!) Our captain was funny, kind and caring. I enjoyed him immensely. We saw dozens of manatees and had a blast taking photos and video of the manatees.... More

After talking with Captain Gene on the phone, we were convinced that going with a group of only 6 snorkelers in the quieter waters of Homosassa Springs would be more to our taste than going on one of the "cattle boats' hauling lots of tourists to the manatees in Crystal River. It was worth it! The 72-degree water was quite... More
