Fun 2 Dive Crystal River Manatee Tours: Reviews, Prices & What to Expect

Contact Info

$76

The Short Answer

Fun 2 Dive is one of the most-reviewed manatee swim operators in Crystal River, with about 4.9 stars from 3,000+ reviews on Viator. Its 3-hour manatee swim starts around $76 per person and includes a wetsuit, mask, snorkel, an in-water guide and a photographer.

Fun 2 Dive has been running manatee tours out of Crystal River since 1995. Classic, semi-private and private swims leave daily, and the company keeps groups small to limit pressure on the manatees in the refuge.

What People Love

The in-water guide. Reviewers love having a guide in the water with them, pointing out manatees and keeping first-timers comfortable.
Photos of your swim. A photographer comes along and usually shoots 50 to 100 photos per trip.
No surprise fees. Wetsuit, gear, parking and fuel are included in the price.

Heads Up

The photos aren’t free. You can view them after the tour, but buying them costs extra, so budget for it if you want the pictures. As one of the busiest operators, peak winter dates also sell out early.

What to Expect

Length: about 3 hours.
Price: from about $76 per person.
Where: 135 NE 3rd St, Crystal River.
Included: wetsuit, mask, snorkel, in-water guide and photographer.
Phone: (866) 922-3483.

Good to Know Before You Book

Manatee season peaks November through March, when cold Gulf water pushes them into the 72-degree springs of Kings Bay.
Early morning departures usually mean calmer water and fewer boats.
The refuge rule is passive observation: look, don’t touch, chase or ride the manatees.
Bring a towel, a dry change of clothes and a warm layer for the boat ride back.
