A Unique Florida Experience
March 7-8, 2009
Overnight at the Best Western, Crystal Springs and Manatee Tour for 2: $190
The manatees flock to the springs because water temps are warmer than the gulf (68 - 72 degrees). Meet at Bird's Underwater at 6:15 AM for a briefing and then you and your Coast Guard Certified Captain will proceed to the dock area and board one of the enclosed pontoon boats, where fresh donuts and coffee are available, free of charge (hot chocolate and juice are also available). All the boats have changing rooms and toilets. While you are touring Kings Bay in search of manatees, your friendly and knowledgeable Captain will answer any questions you have about the local ecosystem. After the Captain has found a good location, he or she will drop anchor and everyone will quietly enter the water and snorkel with the manatees. The Captain will join you in the water, to supervise your experience and shoot digital quality videos, which you may purchase.
The trip goes out early specifically to beat the crowds. Conditions are usually better in the morning (before other boats are on the water and before the manatees move away from the springs to feed).
You will need mask, fins, snorkel and wetsuit. Take your clothes, towel and warm jacket on the boat.
