Excursion privée de plongée avec tuba en bateau avec lamantin VIP avec guide dans l'eau et photographe
Description
Crystal River abrite de magnifiques sources d'eau douce, une grande variété d'animaux sauvages et, bien sûr, nos célèbres lamantins ! Cette expérience de plongée avec tuba dans l'eau des lamantins est EXTRA spéciale puisque le bateau à 6 passagers est strictement dédié à vous et à votre groupe et comprend un forfait photo GRATUIT. (valeur de 40 $.) Chaque hiver, entre 700 et 1000 lamantins migrent ici à la recherche de nos trois systèmes printaniers de première magnitude, chacun avec une température constante de 72° à 74° F (23° C). Même pendant les chauds mois d'été, Crystal River a une population locale de 70 à 100 lamantins qui restent ici toute l'année. Grâce aux efforts de nombreuses entités locales, étatiques et fédérales, notre population de lamantins est en plein essor. Nous estimons qu'une expérience de baignade dans l'eau est une partie importante de cet effort d'éducation et de conservation. Notre équipe de guides aquatiques hautement qualifiés s'assure que votre expérience avec cette espèce chérie et menacée est traitée avec le plus grand soin et respect en encourageant l'observation passive.

Had the most amazing day with Ed and Tyler on the boat having had a really fun, informative and great talk with captain Kim before we boarded. We could not have been looked after any better, we all loved her and are happy to adopt any or all 3 of them! We had a nervous swimmer who was looked after really well, my autistic son who was cared for, so adaptable and mindful of all our physical needs and even though I only lasted for half the tour as I was tired, the rest of the family were up close and personal with the most beautiful manatees and had the absolute best time, including the guarantee of manatee farts which was the first thing we encountered! We initially had trouble finding some but capt Ed made use of the on board drone and we were soon among them. There were snacks and drinks on board and a great Manatee Mocha to warm you up after the swim (does not contain actual manatee!) We also had the best images and videos thanks to the drone and Tyler taking shots throughout. At the end of the tour we were shown the photos and videos taken and had the chance to get some great keepsakes. This is a really great business who care massively about the manatees, the environment and regularly rescuing sick or injured manatees and are great at teaching you all about them, so knowledgable, a really caring company who were just the best. Free stickers are available for anybody who brings Roast Beef Monster Munch! We will definitely use Salty Sirens when we return to Florida!
Absolutely incredible tour. Staff were really friendly and helpful, would highly recommend doing tours with these guys! Thanks for a wonderful tour
Captain Ed and Mermaid Krystle took great care of us! The snorkeling was amazing and we will remember this trip for a lifetime.
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🥰 We’re so happy to hear Mermaid Krystle took such great care of you — we truly love what we do, and it means the world to us that it showed! 💙✨ There’s nothing quite like those magical moments in the water with manatees, and we’re honored to have been part of a memory you’ll carry for a lifetime. 🌊 Thank you for choosing Salty Siren Tours — we hope to see you again for another unforgettable adventure! 🫶✨
Captain Kim is the BEST!! She has so much knowledge and enthusiasm about Manatees. She is very loving and respectful to these beautiful sea creatures in their habitat. Upon arrival, you’ll be briefed with a quick and informative video. Then fitted for wetsuits and off to the marina. We loved every minute and can’t wait to book our next trip!! Captains Kim and Ed are the amazing!! Tell them we said Hi!!

As someone who’s grown up in Florida and RESPECTS THE KNOWLEDGE OF NATURE this company has BEYOND impressed me. Our tour was informative, exciting, calm cool and collective! To be guided in the water by someone who can make an entire group of people feel safe while an enjoying and experience with a beautiful mammal in the wild is so amazing 😻 and then to come back and see the detailed intimate photos and videos of our tour that you didn’t even know where being captured while enjoying your life-changing trip….. made that trip that much better can’t thank enough ! Will certainly be sharing this company specifically with everyone I come across as a local Floridian, family owned business lover and supporter and environmental enthusiast thank, you again to Captain Kim and her crew! ❤️🥰😌😊
Wow — thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review! 💙🐋 Hearing this from someone who grew up in Florida and truly respects nature means so much to our entire Salty Siren family. Our goal on every trip is to create an experience that is educational, calm, respectful, and magical all at the same time, so it means the world to hear that you felt safe, informed, and able to fully enjoy the moment with these beautiful wild mammals. Being able to passively observe manatees in their natural habitat is truly a privilege, and we’re so grateful you shared that moment with us. 🌿🌊 Our in-water guides work very hard to make sure every guest feels comfortable and cared for while also protecting the manatees and their space, so your kind words about that experience will mean a lot to the team. And we love hearing that you enjoyed the photos and videos! 📸 Those little candid moments often end up becoming some of the most special memories from the trip. It also means the world that you recognize and support family-owned, environmentally responsible businesses like ours. Your willingness to recommend us to others is one of the greatest compliments we could receive. ❤️ Thank you again for joining Captain Kim and the crew and for taking the time to share such kind words. We hope to see you back out on the water again soon for more manatee magic! 🐋✨ #SaltySirenTours #CrystalRiver #FloridaLocal #SwimWithManatees #GentleGiants #EcoTourism #FamilyOwned #ProtectWildlife
March is not ideal but our captain and guide found two manatees and we spent a lot of time watching them. Everything was great.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 💙🐋 You’re absolutely right — March can be a little more challenging since many of the migratory manatees have begun heading back out to the Gulf and toward places like Mobile Bay as the water warms. But we’re so glad your captain and guide were able to find a couple of our local resident manatees and give you plenty of time to quietly observe them. 🌊 Sometimes those smaller, more peaceful encounters can be incredibly special. Being able to spend time watching these gentle giants in their natural habitat is always a privilege for us. Thank you again for joining us and for your kind words. We’re so happy you had a great time, and we hope to see you back again — maybe during the winter season when the springs fill up with hundreds of manatees! ❄️🐋 #SaltySirenTours #CrystalRiver #ManateeSeason #GentleGiants #EcoTourism #SwimWithManatees
We had an amazing experience snorkeling with the manatees! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. The captain and in water guide were fantastic — they shared so many interesting facts about the manatees and kept the trip fun with jokes along the way. The heated cabin was such a welcome bonus on the ride back to the dock, especially after being in the water. They even provided hot chocolate and coffee to help everyone warm up, which was such a thoughtful touch. Truly the best customer service — you can tell they genuinely care about their guests and making the experience special. We would absolutely do this again and highly recommend them!
Thank you so much for the incredible review! 💙 We’re so happy to hear you had such an amazing experience snorkeling with the manatees from start to finish! Our crew loves sharing fun facts about these gentle giants while keeping the trip relaxed and full of laughs, so we’re thrilled the captain and in-water guide made the adventure both educational and fun. 🌿🐄 And yes — that heated cabin ride back after the swim can feel pretty magical! We’re glad the hot chocolate and coffee helped warm everyone up. We like to call it a little Manatee Mocha moment after a chilly swim! ☕✨ Your kind words about our customer service truly mean the world to us. As a family-owned, veteran-operated business, we work hard to make every trip feel special and personal for our guests. Thank you again for recommending Salty Siren Tours. We’d love to have you back anytime for another adventure with the sea cows! 🧜♀️💦🐋
Everything was perfect. Our guide Krystal was amazing, so kind and knowledgeable and made sure we had the best experience. Our captain George was so helpful and found us a perfect spot! We loved it!
Everything was perfect?! 🥹💙 That’s the best thing we could possibly hear — thank you!!!

And finding that perfect spot 🙌🌊 — that’s what we love to do! Between great spotting, local knowledge, and a whole lot of heart, our crew truly works together to create those magical moments. We’re so glad you loved it and made memories with us in the springs. Come back and see us again soon for another adventure with the gentle giants! 💙✨
The guides were knowledgeable, respectful of the wildlife, and made safety and conservation a priority. They explained how important it is to remain passive observers — letting the manatees choose the interaction. That respect made the experience feel even more meaningful. The drome pictures were perfect. I highly recommend going through Salty Sirens tours.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We truly appreciate you recognizing the care and intention behind what we do. Our guides work hard to ensure every guest feels informed and confident in the water while keeping safety and conservation at the forefront. Practicing passive observation — allowing the manatees to choose the interaction — is one of the most meaningful parts of the experience, and we’re so glad that approach resonated with you. Respect for these gentle animals and their habitat will always be our top priority. We’re also thrilled you loved the drone photos! Capturing those special moments from above adds such a unique perspective to the adventure. 📸 Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing Salty Siren Tours. We hope to welcome you back to the springs in the future. 💙
Don’t miss a manatee tour with salty siren, they were so incredibly fantastic. The pictures they provided were amazing, our guide was wonderful, we saw manatees and spent a lot of time in the water. We never felt rushed or pressured. What an amazing experience, I just can’t say enough.
Thank you so much for this incredible review — it truly means the world to us! 💙 We’re honored you chose to spend your manatee adventure with Salty Siren and that it felt so fantastic from start to finish. Knowing you never felt rushed or pressured is especially important to us. We believe these experiences should be relaxed, meaningful, and centered around the comfort of both our guests and the manatees. 🌊✨ We’re so glad you loved the photos and enjoyed plenty of time in the water — those unhurried moments are often the most magical. Your kind words and recommendation mean more than we can say. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in the springs someday! 💙
