There are several places in Homossasa where you can snorkel with the manatees. This is a great adult activity but I would not recommend it for children. You must be very quiet in the water. I went recently and there were teens in the second boat who were too active for this activity. There are tours which allow you to see the manatees from the boat. Search online for places in Homossasa Springs and Crystal River for boat trips. Be aware that the water in the Gulf is getting warmer and there are fewer manatees in the rivers. The Wildlife Park in Homossasa is also a good activity and they have a viewing area where the manatees come in to feed. Excellent trip for younger children.
