Swimming with Manatees POV at Crystal River Florida, Plantation Manatee Tour, 1080 HD
We swam with manatees last week as part of a guided tour run out of the dive shop at Plantation on Crystal River, Florida. This was in the summer months, so the number of manatees in this area is much less than in the winter (40 or so vs. 600+). We saw manatees swimming, eating and occasionally surfacing at the top. We wore wetsuits in part due to the temperature of the water, but also to keep us buoyant. We enjoyed our time viewing the manatees in their habitat!

Swimming with Florida manatees
outdoortravelchannel.tv - Endangered Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) are present in Kings Bay's warm, spring-fed waters year-round; in winter, though, their numbers swell substantially as they seek refuge from the Gulf of Mexico's chilly waters. Crystal River operators offer swimming/snorkelling tours to sites such as Three Sisters Springs, where clear waters provide a magnificent opportunity to view these aquatic mammals in their natural habitat.
In March 2012, the US Fish and Wildlife Service established a manatee refuge in the waters of Kings Bay, including its tributaries and connected waters. Prohibited activities include:
(i) Chasing or pursuing manatees
(ii) Disturbing or touching a resting or feeding manatee(s).
(iii) Diving from the surface onto a resting or feeding manatee(s).
(iv) Cornering or surrounding or attempting to corner or surround a manatee(s).
(v) Riding, holding, grabbing, or pinching or attempting to ride, hold, grab, or pinch a manatee(s).
(vi) Poking, prodding, or stabbing or attempting to poke, prod, or stab a manatee(s) with anything, including your hands and feet.
(vii) Standing on or attempting to stand on a manatee(s).
(viii) Separating a mother and calf or attempting to separate a mother and calf.
(ix) Separating a manatee(s) from a group or attempting to separate a manatee(s) from a group.
(x) Giving a manatee(s) anything to eat or drink or attempting to give a manatee(s) anything to eat or drink.
(xi) Actively initiating contact with a belted and/or tagged manatee(s) and associated gear, including any belts, harnesses, tracking devices, or antennae.
(xii) Interfering with rescue and research activities.

Majestic Manatee Tour Crystal River, Florida
Crystal River, Florida is one of the places where many manatees call home during the winter months. It's constant 72 degree spring water is perfect for them during this season. I have to say, swimming with manatees is one of the most amazing life experiences and adventures ever. My inner child (who desperately wanted to be a Marine Biologist) was in all her glory watching and observing, and just basking in their awesomeness. They are so interesting to watch and we saw about 6 of them. They don't do much when they're resting, but watching their faces as they come up to take a breath or two then head back down to continue their nap is so cool to see. And who knew that algae grew on them and the fish eat the algae off of them. Some even had barnacles that grew on them. The ones resting near rocks looked just like rocks and I'm fascinated by how something so big can be so camouflage but also glide and move so smoothly. Did you know that manatees only have about 3-4% body fat?? Hard to believe! That was just one of the interesting facts that Captain Colin told us about on your tour. We highly recommend the Majestic Manatee Tour with Captain Colin and swim guide, Mikayle. They were AMAZING and this was an awesome trip for the whole family. Even our 6 year old had a wonderful time.

Manatee Tour Florida
Hey everyone,
I traveled to florida with a group of crazy friends and we had a chance to go on a manatee tour in Homosassa Springs, which, I think is all part of the Crystal River they told us. It was so exciting and amazing! We saw a mother and her adorable calf. They were nursing but I didn't get a chance to see it happen. It was raining when we were on the boat but it stopped when we arrived to our location and eventually the sun lit up when we left. It was a bit cloudy but the river was still clear enough to see the manatees. It was a bit scary at first because the were HUGE but eventually we warmed up to the gentle giants. They are very curious creatures and some aren't afraid to come right up next to you for a rub. One of them even rolled over so we could rub their tummy! It was so cute! My group of friends weren't pro swimmers except for one, thats why you see us with life jackets supporting our bellies haha!
If you are thinking about taking a manatee tour I would recommend finding a tour that accommodates groups of 8 or less. We had a total of 11 people on our tour (7 of us and 4 others) and it was just too crowded I feel like.
This is the first time I used my Nikon D5100 camera underwater with a waterproof bag. It turned out better than I thought.
Here is the link to the bag that I used.

Swimming with Manatees in Crystal River, Florida
???? Join us as we swim and snorkel with manatees in Crystal River, Florida. This was an intense and amazing trip to see the Florida manatee. Manatees in Florida come back to Crystal River for the warm waters in the winter time. The water temperature in Crystal River, FL is 72 degrees year round, which is warmer for the manatees than the Gulf of Mexico during the winter. Crystal River manatees are so gentle and curious! Swimming with the manatees was definitely a Florida travel highlight. Swim with the manatee in Florida if you ever get a chance!
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBING!
