Kings Bay & the constant 72°f/22°c water pushed out by our many springs draw huge numbers of manatee during the colder months. When temperatures warm, many manatees prefer to explore the Gulf of Mexico & its diverse vegetation. Thankfully a number of manatees (older, pregnant, nursing, etc..) stay throughout the year. While summer in Crystal River does mean less manatees in the bay, there’s still so much to see...Plus, no teeth chattering! 🥶😄

Come out and have a bucket list-worthy experience with us this summer!

Crystal River is often referred to as The Manatee Capital of The World.
However, our bay is full of all sorts of wildlife. The red drum, aka redfish, can be a bit of a celebrity. As one of the region’s most popular inshore fish, the redfish is also known to be a powerful challenge for fishermen and shellfish alike!

We feel so blessed to have been part of this incredibly special day...so much so, we just had to buy a round of celebratory drinks afterwards! 🥂🍾

💡The Florida manatee’s face is covered with many hairs, called vibrissae, that aid them in their daily life...Assisting them primarily for navigation & feeding. These unique hairs are pivotal to the daily life of the manatee....Plus they’re pretty dang cute! 😊

💡Did you know?
Manatees breathe every 3 to 5 minutes when active....But while resting they can hold their breath for nearly 20 minutes!

Just another Wednesday in Crystal River, Florida ☀️🐪

You did it, you made it to Friday! Now make like a manatee… get some snacks, take a breath, and float into the weekend. Well, do that, or book your amazing manatee eco-tour ASAP! Snacks, manatees, weekends? What more could you want? www.manateesinparadise.com or 419-305-7044

You never know what will happen when you follow the “freeze and float”! Thanks to staying motionless in the water this incredibly rare moment was captured on video. Don’t forget… our photo and video package is always FREE. No surprise charges, ever. Book soon to get in the water with us before the warm weather returns. www.manateesinparadise.com or 419-305-7044 #swimwithmanatees #florida #snorkeling #crystalriver #manateesinparadise #wildlife #discovercrystalriver #visitflorida #manatees #manateetours #crystalriverfl #manateesnorkeltours #lovefl #VisitFlorida #crystalriverflorida

A common misconception is that manatees are slow 🦥. It’s true that much of a manatee's day is spent moving along at a leisurely pace and floating at the surface of the water. Did you know the manatee can sprint 🏃 at nearly 20mph? 🤯 Book today! www.manateesinparadise.com or 419-305-7044

Captain Jake and in-water guide Shawn are two of the best and we’re proud to have them on our team. Thank you for the wonderful review, Jim, we hope to see you again in the future!

#throwbackThursday During the winter months, the Three Sisters Springs are primarily a sanctuary space for resident and migratory manatees. This means human access to the springs might be restricted for the benefit of the manatees, depending on Gulf of Mexico temperatures. With nearly 650 acres of bay, there are still plenty of areas and opportunities to explore! Want to keep up with spring closures? Visit Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge Complex on Facebook. 📹: Tiffany

When dealing with wild animals, especially in their home, it’s important to have patience! Even in low visibility or murky waters, there are plenty of amazing moments to be had. With cold weather in the forecast, the time is now to book your one-of-a-kind ecotour: www.manateesinparadise.com or 419-305-7044

When you’re in the waters of Kings Bay you’re a visitor to the wild manatees home. As a group that believes strongly in passive observation, we rely heavily upon freeze and float. This approach allows manatees the right of way, allows them to maintain their natural habits, and frequently results in some amazing moments. Cold overnight temperatures result in amazing eco-tours. Book now! www.manateesinparadise.com or 419-305-7044 📽️: Captain Derek

Everyone loves our propellor guards, especially the manatees! The guards combined with the slow speeds mandated inside Kings Bay help protect the manatees and their backs from boat strikes. We are proud to have a Guardian Guide endorsement from the Save the Manatee Club and we’re constantly working to ensure the best ecotours for humans and manatees alike! 📽️: Captain Jake www.manateesinparadise.com or 419-305-7044 #swimwithmanatees #florida #snorkeling #crystalriver #manateesinparadise #wildlife #discovercrystalriver #visitflorida #manatees #manateetours #crystalriverfl #manateesnorkeltours #lovefl #VisitFlorida #crystalriverflorida

#manateemonday Cold overnight temperatures drive the manatees into the warm springs of Kings Bay. We’re getting to see plenty of barnacle-covered little spuddy buddies like this one! #swimwithmanatees #florida #snorkeling #crystalriver #manateesinparadise #wildlife #discovercrystalriver #visitflorida #manatees #manateetours #crystalriverfl #manateesnorkeltours #lovefl #VisitFlorida #crystalriverflorida

Sometimes you just need to take a break and enjoy some manatees. All of the manatees you’ll see during your eco-tour are 100% wild and free. We practice passive observation which means we stay hands off and allow the manatees to act naturally without our interfering. This allows both the humans and the manatees the best experience possible.

#manateeMonday Did you know, a female manatee gives live birth to, usually, a single calf every 2-5 years? At birth, the average calf measures in at about 4” (1.2m) and weighs up to about 60lbs (27kg). Calves can swim, nurse, and vocalize to the mother soon after birth. Within the first few weeks, the calf can start munching on vegetation in addition to nursing. Typically the calf will follow the mother as she travels her migration path learning along the way where plentiful food is, safe waters, and during the colder months where to find warm water!
