Gulf Coast Expeditions

Gulf Coast Expeditions specializes in small group, guided tours that allow our guests the opportunity to swim with the majestic Florida Manatee. Our personalized private and semi-private tours take no more than six people per tour and you are guided by a USCG Licensed captain as well as a USFWS trained, in-water guide. Your guides will take you to the best spots to spend some time in the water with these wonderful creatures, getting you up close and personal with one of nature’s most gentle of giants in their natural habitat, a privilege only afforded to those who visit Crystal River. Your guide will also take photos and videos of your experience and make sure you have the time of your life with our manatees and the surrounding springs. 

Our company is family and veteran owned with a focus on customer service and the conservation of the Florida Manatee and their habitat. We work closely with US Fish and Wildlife and Florida Wildlife Commission to ensure that, while our guests are having a great time, that we are also respectful and protective of this fragile resource.
