What to expect

Avoid the hidden fees and book with this family owned-and-operated snorkeling adventure of a lifetime! We provide everything from the gear you'll use, parking and even free photos at the end! Up to 12 may join in on this epic excursion throughout the King's Bay Manatee Refuge.
Hop aboard The Manatee Duchess and search for the incredible manatees that call our area home. Learn more about our town and wildlife during your search for manatees as your in-water guide and captain educate and instruct guests on how to conduct ourselves in the water. Manatees vary in numbers throughout the year, so sometimes it takes five minutes and sometimes over an hour to find one in our 600-acre bay. When we have found a manatee, swim alongside the graceful and impressive manatees while your in-water guide takes photos and assists guests who need any help. Guests will snorkel in a calm and quiet manner, assisted in floating by the wetsuits and swim noodles provided with your tour.

Reminder: this is a natural experience and, while we are able to find manatees year-round, conditions vary day-to-day. If you have any questions about conditions or the experience feel free to contact us.
