    FAQs

    Manatees are wild animals, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. November through March is generally the peak season in Kings Bay, though their movements vary with water temperature.

    This manatee snorkeling tour uses pontoon boats that accommodate up to 6 guests.

    Went out of season so unsure if we would actually see any manatees but the boat captain and our guide Celeste were excellent at spotting the signs and we swam alongside one and watched another sleeping. The springs were lovely and clear and we saw crabs, bass and mullet. There were only to 2 of us booked on the tour but it went ahead anyway which we were v appreciative of. Great trip!
