❄️ Tired of trusting a groundhog for life advice? ❄️

If you’re staring out the window at snow, ice, and regret… it might be time to stop listening to Punxsutawney Phil and start listening to Phyllis.

Because down here in sunny Florida, we don’t predict winter…
we float in 72° spring water with manatees.

No wind chill.
No black ice.
No scraping the windshield.

Just sunshine, crystal clear water, gentle giants, and the kind of peace you can’t get from a weather forecast.

Come trade snow boots for snorkel gear.
Feel the magic. Feel the warmth. Feel the Florida.

Easy online bookings, reservations, and all the info you need at:

Phil can keep the shadows.
You come chase the sunshine. ☀️

❄️🌴 BREAKING NEWS: Florida is getting snow flurries… and the manatees could not be less concerned. 😂

While the rest of the state is digging out hoodies and wondering what to do, the manatees are floating in their 72° natural hot tub springs like, “y’all coming in or what?”

This weekend’s forecast:
Snowy. Drizzly. Magical.
Perfect conditions to soak in Mother Nature’s hot tub with the chubbiest mermaids in Florida.

Come swim with the manatees, watch the snow flurries fall, and enjoy the only place in Florida where winter actually makes the experience BETTER.

Who needs a heated pool when you’ve got crystal-clear spring water and a herd of floating sea potatoes keeping it cozy?

Once-in-a-lifetime kind of weekend.
We may even have Elsa from Frozen stopping by. ❄️👑😂

Come join the manatees in the hot tub. They saved you a spot.

✨ ‘Twas the Season of Gratitude… ✨

From all of us at Snorkel with Manatees and Swim with Manatees, serving the beautiful waters of Homosassa River and Crystal River, we want to take a moment to say thank you.

2025 has truly been a blessed year for us. It brought incredible guests, unforgettable moments in the springs, quiet encounters, laughter, learning, and the simple joy of sharing space with some of the most gentle souls on Earth — the manatees. 🐋💙

To everyone who traveled near and far, slipped into the water, respected the wildlife, and chose to experience these magical encounters with care and intention — we are deeply grateful. You didn’t just come to see manatees… you came to experience them in a meaningful, respectful way, and that means everything to our team.

Because of you — our guests, supporters, families, and friends — we get to do what we love every single day. Sharing these springs, protecting these animals, and creating memories that last a lifetime is an honor we never take for granted.

From our team to your family, and from every mama manatee and her little ones gliding through the springs…
🎄✨ We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful, joy-filled New Year. ✨🎄

Thank you for being part of our journey.
Thank you for loving the manatees as much as we do.
We can’t wait to welcome you back in the water with us soon. 💙

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Snorkel with Manatees & Swim with Manatees Team
Homosassa River & Crystal River 🐋💫

Thanks Ashly for the props on our Swim With Manatees tour. Yeah, the water's always a comfy 72 degrees, but that outside air can be a bit of a chill-killer. Captain Charissa's hot cocoa is the real MVP - you gotta try her Boat Latte. It's off the chain.
So, future guests, if you're looking for a magical manatee experience with a side of amazing hot cocoa, come on down. Our hot cocoa's the best, and our guests' 5-star reviews prove it. Hit us up at 352-257-8687 and talk to the famous Capt Kim, or book online at snorkelwithmanatees.com. We can't wait to meet you.
