Nature's Discovery - Manatee Swim Tours
Nature's Discovery runs guided manatee snorkeling tours from Crystal River, Florida, out on King's Bay, where a network of freshwater springs keeps the water near a constant 72°F year-round and supports a resident manatee population that stays in the bay through the seasons.
Guests can choose between a few tour formats depending on group size and privacy preference: a smaller Semi-Private Snorkeling Tour (up to 6 guests) for a more personal, closer-guided experience; a larger Classic Manatee Snorkeling Tour (up to 12 guests); and a Private Manatee Snorkeling Tour booked exclusively for one group, available at 6-, 12-, or 20-passenger capacities for the most private outing. Tours are led by U.S. Coast Guard-certified captains and in-water guides.
Beyond manatee snorkeling, Nature's Discovery also offers eco tours of the area and a separate Private Scalloping Adventure, a longer outing built around harvesting scallops rather than manatee viewing. Wildlife encounters depend on natural conditions and are never guaranteed. Tour details, requirements, and reservations are available on the business's website.
