The time is approaching for our annual adventure to snorkel with the manatees in Crystal River. We are planning the trip for Friday, Jan 31.
If you have never done this, I believe you will find it an exhilarating, memorable experience.
Snorkel gear, wet suits and flotation noodles are provided.
The tour provides a very short boat ride to the area where manatees congregate.
The cost is $75 per person. If you don't want to go in the water but want to just go on the boat, the cost is $50.

It is about a 3.5 hour drive to Crystal River.
In the past some people have chosen to drive the night before and stay overnight, to avoid the long drive early in the morning. We stayed at the Crystal River Plantation Resort, which is immediately adjacent to the departure dock for the tour.
Unfortunately, that hotel is still closed due to hurricane damage. But there are several nearby options available, including a reasonably prices Holiday Inn Express.
