This will be a one day trip on the Homosassa River visiting our friends, the Manatees. Between Thanksgiving and Easter is the best time to snorkel with these cuties. The water temp in the springs is a constant 72 year round, it'll feel chilly at first but is comfortable. After that they begin to leave the springs and head out to  to the bay and coastal waters ( or not). Miss this one and you'll have to wait till next winter (in reality the manatees are in the river all year just in smaller numbers during the summer ). Meeting at Manatee Camp Ground (directions will follow) by 10:00 to board our pontoon boat and head up the river to the springs. Want to carpool? Let me know, we'll be stopping along the way for breakfast . Docking for lunch will be at one of the local riverside eateries . You can expect to have up to 5 hours on the river.  Planning to be back at the dock about 3:00 or 4ish.

 

Bring your own gear for snorkeling, wet suite if you need one, towel and your own snacks.

Cost is only $30.00 per person and must be paid in advance.
