- 32 SE US Hwy 19 - Experience an unforgettable snorkeling adventure with this family-owned and operated business, free from hidden fees! They provide everything you need, including gear, parking, and complimentary photos at the end of your journey. Up to 12 participants can join this thrilling excursion through the King’s Bay Manatee Refuge.
Climb aboard The Manatee Duchess and embark on a quest to find the magnificent manatees that inhabit the area. Discover more about the local town and wildlife as the in-water guide and captain offer education and guidance on proper water conduct. Manatee sightings vary throughout the year, so locating one in the 600-acre bay can take anywhere from five minutes to over an hour. Once a manatee is spotted, guests can swim alongside these majestic creatures while the in-water guide captures photos and provides assistance as needed. Participants will snorkel calmly and quietly, supported by the wetsuits and swim noodles included in the tour.
Please note: This is a natural experience, and while manatees can be found year-round, conditions may change daily. For any inquiries about conditions or the experience, feel free to reach out.
