Swimming With Manatee Tour | Snorkel With Manatee at Crystal River | Cuteness Overload

[@SheilainFlorida]

Wow, just Wow!!! Thanks for the video! 👏👏👏

[@barbaramartin6537]

Awesome video and yes the manatees are cute.

[@laurenjp1491]

The “manatee count” 🤣🤣🤣.

[@kimberlyspencer5552]

I love & obsessed with manatees! 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@talk2azs]

I remember being on crystal river back in the late 80s with my cousins who lived there at the time. We were actually swimming in the not so well known springs. On the way back up river we saw some manatee up ahead and decided to slow and stop so we could get in with them. What a great experience. And this all took place before Crystal River became so busy and crowded.

My husband and I swam with dolphins in Cozumel and rays in the Caymans. Both incredible experiences. Swimming with the manatee would be amazing! There is something about being in the water interacting with some of God's most awesome creatures that is like nothing else. Thanks so much for a great video! Lots of helpful information delivered by likeable hosts. You guys are great!

[@mikedittenber5271]

So jealous!!! The cutest little sea puppers!

[@jkledis]

Wow Rick and Nikki - this was fantastic!!! Great work.

[@micheleaday3902]

Gods Creatures Are So Beautiful I Used To Swim With Manatee And Dolphins When I Lived In Fl..So Beautiful❤

[@JohnDoe-vc4vw]

We have to do this!!! They look like giant water pugs!

[@lauraw2074]

Oh my gosh that was just adorable 🥰

[@kellymiller551]

Yay!!! I'm so glad you got to do this. I knew you guys would love it. Great video!!!

[@sharondavies1662]

Just booked this thanks for the video can't wait

[@FamilyGal]

I swam with manatees years ago, just on my own with a couple of friends, not a tour. It was incredible, they were truly gentle giants. Nikki was exactly right, they're exactly like water puppies, nudging me from behind and coming in for hugs and pets. It's an experience I will never forget!

[@AmyAbbott-xc8sn]

Manatees are my favorite animal and it’s my dream to swim with them! I hope I can do it one day!

[@daveuygur]

Great Video RixFin. Incredible quality. Cannot wait to go to Crystal River.

[@bonniekeyworth3123]

My son has an unusually strong affection towards manatees he loved this video and now we definitely need to do this for him when he is older

[@kimberlyzickefoose3994]

oh my gosh how amazing

[@flightlessbird7318]

Beautiful creatures. This is on my bucket list.

[@itsmeyourfriend]

🚨 Unpopular opinion! I'd rather swim with manatees than dolphins! 🐬 How incredible! I really hope I'm able to do this someday 🤞🏻

[@katelyncouper7737]

RixFlix Meetup with the Manatees??? I'm in! Great video ❤️

[@jordanhill9007]

This was the more adorable, beautiful video!! But, Nikki, I think you missed a "manatee" or two in the gift shop. 😂😂😂

[@nikki_rixflix9869]

Whoops! I guess I just gave up after 12 lol

[@jordanhill9007]

@@nikki_rixflix9869 I'm totally kidding!! 🤣🤣🤣 He just said it A LOT! And I so loved the counting!! 😂

[@jeremytaunton8813]

You guys are so fun! Thank you for sharing.

[@courtneyjackson8102]

The Mr. Incredible comparison KILLED me LOL!!! This looked so fun! Awesome idea!!

[@patrinker2666]

I REALLY need to win the lottery so I can do all these fun things! This is going on my bucket list!!!

[@MLPdiver]

My wife and I have done this twice. Once in a September and once in a November. The September trip had only a small number of manatees present. I think November was a perfect time to do this. There were many more manatees to see than on our previous trip although not the huge number seen in your video. We saw plenty of manatees including one that wouldn’t leave our sides for more than an hour! We stayed at the Plantation on our first trip and the Hampton on our second. We thought the Plantation had much more character. We used two different tour operators on our trips as well. Both promised smaller groups of no more than 6. I think the smaller capacity boats also make for a more personalized experience. When I go on scuba diving trips I also seek out the small boats. Glad you enjoyed the manatees. They are magnificent!

[@Stilltaken]

One of the coolest videos you guys have done . Look forward to visiting there.😎

[@shannonillig3675]

That is so cool

[@christin4972]

We did this last year for my birthday and loved it! It has been on my bucket list since I was in single digits and discovered they existed in America. It's fantastic!

[@samanthalevin9468]

My favorite video yet, and I am combining both channels!! ❤️ The more animal videos, the merrier! 😊

[@janevelasquez3431]

Oh my goodness! That was so neat. It would definitely be hard to not want to touch them. That was some good self control. 🌞🌻🥰

[@Gabydubb]

Rick!!! A trip to the strawberry festival would make a fun road trip!! Hope to see you in the parks again soon! - Gaby, Jon, and Nicole

[@lisaanderson5034]

Very nice

[@shannonillig3675]

This so cool

[@Tuckeylad]

Great video, Rick and Nikki! The manatee is such an amazing creature, large, but very gentle. You guys swam with them, fantastic :)

[@helenpeck1954]

It really is the most amazing experience. I did this about 18 years ago and it was a cold day but so worth it to spend time with these gentle creatures ❤️

[@Ann-Marielivingonabudget]

Now I want to do this on my next trip to Florida!!! Our first trip we wanted to see manatees, but I think the season was off so we never saw them. Love this!

[@Anon71717]

Just booked a honeymoon couple to visit here!

[@dianastefenelli2986]

Great video! never seen a manatee that close up.

[@riyoalbright7151]

This is one of the favorite things to do in Florida! I am going back there again next month and cannot wait to see them again! Thank you for updating this video! I loved it!

[@JustOutnAbout]

We have definitely got to check this out maybe on our December trip! This looks awesome! Of course those wet suits are a bear to get on! Great review! ~Dawn

[@mickyjmad1]

Well that was AWESOME!!!!!! What a great video!! Melts the heart just how cute they are. We are going to Orlando in June and this might just make the list!!!

[@jenniferwithani2455]

What a delightful experience! Thank you for taking us along. This is on the list. 💛💙

[@Paw_Lover86]

O my gosh, they are soo cute! 😍 Amazing video. I wish I could get this chance to do this one day.

[@ThePotterPlayer]

So fun! Sorry you guys had to deal with the cold morning weather😂

[@wendykieffer9567]

We had a beautiful manatee swim past us when we were in Clearwater back in September. I think the are so adorable ☺️.

[@samanthabass2761]

Argh every time I watch you my list of things we went to do when we visit from the UK gets longer every time!!

[@stevenmarvick30]

💖

[@tidegirl6526]

I've been wondering when you would get to this 🙂 I've said every winter for 3 years I am going but life always hers in the way. Also, check Amazon for an accessory kit that includes a gopro float. They are cheap, especially compared to a new gopro.

[@ravenslove21]

Aww poor Nikki looks like she's freezing. This looks like an amazing experience and seems peaceful. Sorry about your Go- Pro.

[@UncleIanYorkshire]

What a fantastic road trip, they really are fantastic to be near. This has got to be one of the best you have done do far. Unlucky with your GoPro, bit of an incident 😳

[@bbizzle82]

over in good old citrus county... i'm in inverness

[@vickistory2724]

My daughter wants to do this so bad. I will stick with dolphins. Thank you for the video, I can't wait to show her.

[@planetuniversal8085]

you should try out John penny camps coral reef state park Key Largo yes you'll see sharks you'll see all types of animal sea turtles lobsters everything it's I've did alot was I was in my 20s and 30s I came face to face with a bullshark one the best snorkeling trip I ever had

[@geno5169]

My wife and I when we did a cruise and our one port was Mexico. We swam with my favorite fish the dolphin . That was my dream come true. It wasn’t easy for my wife. One year we did a cruise we we we’re supposed to swim with stin ray’s. My wife didn’t do it. Just me.

[@geno5169]

Rick are you wearing a hulk hat?? If so I’ll to look for one

[@richwynne49]

This one was very entertaining and what a good choice for content. Who wouldn't want to go check out this place and swim with manatees! One important question though. How did you guys talk the female tour guide into donning the Harry Potter robe? LOL

[@RixRoadTrips]

She looked a little like Madam Hooch too haha

[@geno5169]

Manatee’s are my wife’s favorite . Would she swim them? I would hands down. Rick or Nikki. Where did you do this at??

[@SUNSHINE21480]

Which place was this? There are quite a few of them.

[@lisaanderson5034]

Hi Jordan hill

[@tara12171]

My family went to Sanabel for a vacation and a manatee swam right next to us I was scared it was a shark it almost swam into me

[@tara12171]

Would you be scared like if something other then a manatee coming up behind you me yes

[@marlonmiranda9233]

Is that asian girl Kaila Yu on the boat ? she was lowkey famous lmao

[@RixRoadTrips]

Yes
