• 1 SW 1st Pl - Join our 3-hour semi-private swim with the manatees tour, where we host a maximum of 6 guests to ensure a personal and informative adventure. Departing from Pete’s Pier Marina in the heart of Kings Bay, guests will explore the 600-acre bay where manatees reside. Once located, guests can snorkel alongside these gentle creatures, guided by our experienced team who remain in the water throughout, capturing photos and short videos. All images and video clips from your excursion are included at no extra charge.

Please note: This is a genuine wildlife experience, and conditions cannot be guaranteed. Large winter gatherings occur during strong cold fronts, as manatees seek the springs where water is usually clearer. During warmer periods (with temperatures in the 70s for several days), manatees may feed on the grass flats where visibility can range from 1–6 feet. A resident population is present year-round, so sightings are possible even outside peak winter conditions.

Cold fronts, rather than the calendar, draw large numbers to the springs. Clear water photos online do not represent daily conditions. We offer an authentic, respectful wildlife experience that is true to nature.
