You will be attempting to spot manatees in various locations, and learn about our extremely unique ecosystem and learn why so many manatees make Crystal River their home. You will also have the chance to spot turtles, various birds including pelicans, herons, ospreys, owls, and even bald eagles. In the water you may spot dolphins, many species of fish including mullet, snapper, tarpon, and possibly a random alligator tucked away napping:) This is the NUMBER one tour in Crystal River, so don't miss out and reserve your spot today!
