ouestion about manatee swim

[lesley]

i would love to do a manatee swim tour but is it right that they only take place from oct-feb if this is so i can't go:cry: as we go in july.
i have looked at a couple of tours and the one i fancy www.fun2dive.com/manatee don't give dates(at least i couldn't find them:( )
but one of the testimonials says this is the case

i know some dibbers have done these tours and have had a fantastic time

please someone tell me i can go

Lesley the people you are looking to go with are the same ones me and DW went with ie Captain Joe. A great chap lovely day
best bet is to e-mail him he is one of the local experts and will be able to tell you if your dates are suitabe.

We can highly recomend the day with him !!and always look back on the day with a smile
ps we did it in Nov

Absolutely brilliant!!! Did it in August & swam with a mother & cub on my own while all the others were too busy hanging onto a sign post!!! - never forget the experience!!

If my mind recalls the manetees only come into florida during the winter time which is normally around Nov - Feb

Is this far from Disney? Sounds a lovely thing to do.

This usually takes place at Crystal River which is about 11/2-2 hours drive from Orlando.
There are coach tours that go there for non drivers.
Our trip was a full day out with manatee swim, wildlife park and airboat trip with lunch. It was arranged though Virgin but there are loads of places that do them including Park Ticket sites.
