Swim With Manatees

Face it! After a certain age, gravity starts winning… don’t worry, we’ve got a water noodle waiting for you! “Noodles for everyone!” 😂

Conservation Is at the Heart of Everything We Do

We believe the greatest gift we can give our guests isn’t just an amazing wildlife encounter.

It’s helping create lifelong ambassadors for manatee conservation.

More Than a Tour. A Privilege.

Imagine slipping quietly into the crystal-clear waters of Florida’s beautiful spring-fed rivers as a gentle manatee slowly glides beneath you. There are no loud crowds, no rushing from place to place, and no performances. Just you, your family, and one of nature’s most peaceful creatures sharing a moment you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

This isn’t a theme park attraction.

This is one of the most unique wildlife experiences in North America.

Every day we are humbled and grateful for the opportunity to introduce our guests to these incredible animals while helping protect them for future generations.

A Different Kind of Adventure

Our captains and in water guides don’t just take you to see manatees. They teach you about them.

You’ll learn why these gentle giants return to our springs, how they communicate, how mothers care for their calves, and why protecting their habitat is so important. By the end of your tour, you’ll leave with memories that last a lifetime and a much deeper appreciation for one of Florida’s most beloved endangered species.

We feel incredibly blessed to share these gentle animals with our guests, and we hope every person who steps aboard leaves not only with amazing memories but with a greater appreciation for the responsibility we all share in protecting Florida’s manatees.

Come discover why so many families return year after year.

Our goal isn’t simply to help you see a manatee. Our goal is to help you understand one.

Amazing!!!

Amazing! We went out with Captain Cephas and he was super cool and knowledgeable. We had been to three sister springs on our own a few years back and wasn’t a good experience. But this time was great! We were here a little late in the season so it was harder to see them, but we did and we saw a mama and baby too! We will be back again! Thank you Captain again for an amazing trip and memories 💙❤️

Fun Experience!

I had an incredible experience on this tour swimming with the manatees. Our captain was friendly and knowledgeable, helping us locate the manatees and giving us ample time to swim with these beautiful animals. I highly recommend this tour to all visiting the area.

It's Amazing!

I have been coming to the Weeki Wachee area for 50 years and never have been here. WOW! IT WAS AMAZING!! Such a beautiful place. They have a shuttle or it's a 10 min walk back to the Springs. Definitely glad we went.

WOW, what an amazing experience!

We received a friendly welcome from two dive instructors who explained everything we needed to know. "Please don't make any sudden movements" when the manatee swims towards you. These animals aren't aggressive; they're peaceful creatures that live in this river. We saw several swimming right in front of us, under us, and beside us.
