My wife and I spent an evening at the Plantation in Crystal River and went snorkeling the next morning the next morning with Adventure Tours (or something like that) which is next to the hotel. It was wonderful. Sadly for your 12 year old though, the best manatee viewing times are in the winter. They've mostly moved on by now. Don't worry though -- there are still plenty of fish, birds (yes, birds that swim underwater to catch fish!), crabs, and other things to see. Enjoy!
