A perfect opportunity to escape from the theme parks and see what Florida is really all about! After breakfast, it’s off to the picturesque Crystal River – home to the endangered “gentle giant of the sea,” the Florida manatee. You can choose to snorkel or swim and if you're lucky, you'll interact with these beautiful creatures; or just sit back, relax, and enjoy the natural surroundings on the boat tour. Let us surprise you for the remainder of your day by showing you one of Florida’s best-kept secrets – Homosassa State Wildlife Park, where you experience Florida’s natural beauty plus a whole host of wildlife, including more manatees.
