Nowhere else will you find more manatees in winter months than in Crystal River, neighboring Homosassa, and the waters of Citrus County! ~ Manatees are naturally curious, and as affectionate and playful as a golden retriever. From mid-November thru the first week of March, water warmed by Crystal River’s natural geothermal springs, and constant temp of 72-74 degrees, attracts the largest concentration of manatees in the world! During peak season, there can be as many as 900+ manatees wanting to nuzzle, tickle and show off just for you! * In Florida, we’ll stay 5 nights at a hidden gem tucked away on the Nature Coast, the Plantation on Crystal River. It’s a beautiful 50-year-old, 232-acre eco-friendly Resort offering comfy accommodations, a full-service spa, all the modern amenities, and is surrounded by the natural springs of Kings Bay, home to hundreds of West Indian manatees that migrate each year to the warmth of the springs. There’s way too much to write here, so call for the FULLY-DETAILED FLYER, but here are a few Highlights to get you going!... Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park & Manatee Program – see manatees from their underwater observatory... so neat! * Three Sisters Springs Refuge, a world-renowned sanctuary for the manatees – fascinating stories! * Sail around the National Wildlife Refuge on a pontoon as your captain shares the history of the area... Manatees, dolphins, otters, and turtles are often spotted * Step back in time at Weeki-Wachee State Park where “The Little Mermaid” is performed live in the submerged 400-seat auditorium * In Tarpon Springs, a wonderful Dolphin Island Adventure Cruise awaits – learn of the Sponge Docks as you cruise looking for beautiful dolphins and other marine life! * Dock on Anclote Island where you can see the lighthouse, stroll the beach for shells, or even take a dip! * A Free Day to enjoy the amenities at your Resort – so many choices! * Relive “Old Florida” at Ferris Groves in Floral City – purchase fresh fruit and have it sent home * Overnights in Rock Hill, SC coming & going * There much more to tell, but we’re out of room.
