Homosassa Manatee Snorkeling Center - Homosassa, Florida

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Homosassa Snorkeling Center! Captain D was incredibly knowledgeable about the manatees and truly cares about their safety and the restoration of the river. We had an amazing encounter and saw so many manatees up close! Captain D was also so friendly and patient with our children, making the experience even more enjoyable for the whole family. We couldn’t recommend this tour more. If you're thinking about it, do it—you won’t regret it!

We had an epic morning with captan with our awesome captains! Everything going so smooth and so well managed! Quick video will give you rules and regulations and in 30 min you will find yourself on the boat in wet suits ready for adventure! It was very chilly morning which is good for watching manatees! We got a lot of nice peaceful observations and interactions. Captans are very knowledgeable and will answer all your questions! We got all we want time in the water, even two locations. Feeling very welcome and not rushed at all. Hot drinks and warm blankets were waiting for us too! Very highly recommended to do tour in springs area. We will be back with friends!

If I could - I would give 8+ Stars! Thank you so much Captain Traci and Captain Dee for a once in a lifetime experience! We went on the 4 hour tour and had a blast! Captain Traci went above and beyond to get us to the best spots amd we got it all. We had Manatees of course, we were greeted by them, hugged by them, got kisses, rollover Manatees (Captain Tracis favorite) and were even pushed by the gentle wonderful creatures. In addition to that the service was absolutely perfect and the gear provided was in excellence condition!

My oldest daughter wanted to swim with manatees for her 10th birthday. We had a wonderful experience with Captain Traci. She was an awesome host! She was friendly, knowledgeable and even had blankets, coffee and hot cocoa for us when we got out of the water.

I can't wait to go back with visiting family in the future. It's such amazing experience to see these animals up close and personal.

For an experience that is less crowded and more genuine, with a seasoned, professional, and knowledgeable guide, Captain Traci is the one. Gear and needs are addressed - no surprises. An appropriate amount of time is taken to provide safety information (for the snorkelers and manatees) before setting out, while engaging with the guests.
Fish & Wildlife Service has a true partner, the manatees have an advocate, and the guests are assured of a joyful, unrushed, and considerate adventure with Captain Traci.
Definitely worth the drive from Orlando to Homosassa.
These Canadians are looking forward to returning.
Truly recommend.

Trace foi muito gentil e agradavel nos proporcionando uma excelente experiencia no nado com os peixe boi.
Eu ate tive um pouco de medo no comeco pelo tamanho dos animais. Mas a Trace me deu Seguranca e teve paciencia para que eu podesse tentar mais uma vez.

Não tenha medo eles sao muito doceis e gentis.
Amamos nossa experiencia.

This was the best experience we have ever done in Florida. My boyfriend and I visited back in January and after endless searching and reading reviews for the best place to go, we chose this one. The women who own this establishment are wonderful. They were able to get us in last minute for an experience of a lifetime. Between the knowledge she shared and her amazing sense of humor, Captain Traci kept us laughing and truly made the experience special for everyone on her boat. After snorkeling our hearts out with these amazing creatures, she provided us with warm blankets, hot beverages, and laughs all the way back to the dock. It was truly an amazing experience and I highly suggest booking with them for anyone who is looking. I know we will definitely be returning and bringing friends/family next time!

An absolutely amazing trip! Capt. Traci is phenomenal! Her knowledge and passion for the manatees is clear through the experience she provides. She knew exactly where to go and provided a beautiful overview of what to expect. While I often say I love my job sarcastically, her use of the phrase was an obvious truth. This is clearly more than a business for her, it's a reflection of her passion to protect and educate about these amazing creatures. I'd recommend her to anyone. I even witnessed her coaching a timid snorkler through the breathing and a bit of claustrophobia. This place was simply the best! I will certainly be back!
