The Homosassa Manatee Encounter

The Homosassa Manatee Encounter is the most sought after tour in the world of wildlife encounters, Nov 15th Thru March 31 ish?. The Homosassa River offers a secluded manatee swim with snorkeling equipment. Less people, less boats and shallow water means a great tour with an up-close encounter. You need to try this tour. We promise this encounter to be the best, the water is always 72 Degrees all year. The Homosassa River is very shallow, good for those of all ages. The Homosassa River and its bay is very small and quaint, concentrating the winter manatees in one area. This allows for better viewing of wildlife and manatees in their habitat. Crystal River is a larger body of water, which allows the manatees to be in many areas. The Crystal River tour is a good tour all year but the Homosassa River is the best tour for our so called "winter months".  We also have rental HD underwater cameras and underwater cases for your iPhones and iPads. Please ask for these cases or cameras at time of booking. After your tour you can experience the Homosassa Wildlife Park just a few minutes from your manatee encounter. Please call or Email for reservations to ensure seating.
