What time of day do manatees come out?
What time of day do manatees come out? The Three Sisters Springs is a quieter viewing and swimming spot but wherever you are, the best time to be with the manatees is early morning 6 am to 8.30 am when they are most active.
Can you swim with a manatee?
Yes! But not just anywhere, and there is only one place where you can actually swim/snorkel with wild and free (uncaged) manatees in their natural habitat, that is unless you just happen to run into one of them when swimming in spring-fed Florida rivers.
Where would you be most likely to see a manatee?
Manatees typically live and play near the warm waters of natural springs. Three Sisters Springs and Homosassa Springs are two of the best places to find manatees. Local tour operators and nature guides provide a variety of options for experiencing these awesome sea creatures.
Are you more likely to see manatees in the morning or afternoon?
Manatees tend to be most active earliest in the morning, so our later tours generally encounter more feeding or resting manatees that may not be quite as interested in us.
