Snorkeling with Manatees!! Plantation Adventure Center - Crystal River, Florida
Josiah and my mom volunteered to venture into the water with me to snorkel with the manatees during our stay in Crystal River. This has been an activity I've wanted to do for years! We put on wetsuits and followed our guide into the murky water of Kings Bay estuary in late January. The water temperature is a steady 74 degrees, and the wetsuits acted as floatation devices as we were careful to float in the designated areas for swimmers. The water had been stirred up, either from weather the night before or from the manatees themselves, but we were able to swim along side many of these gentle giants as they roamed slowly through the water.
