Manatee Snorkeling trip

<p>Swim and snorkel with the Manatees on the Homosassa River</p>

Details

This is a one day trip, Meeting at Riverside Retreat and boarding our own pontoonboat. Heading up river to the fresh water springs. Here you can snorkel with the Manatees from our own boat. The water temp is 72 year round, in the winter months you may need a wetsuit (most don't). You will need a towel, something to drink on the boat and a snack to share would be nice. Bring your camera. We will be docking at one of the many eateries on the river for lunch. Stoping at Monkey Island for some fun photo shots, yes this really is an island with only monkies on it (small but an island), All-in-all, it's a great day on the beautiful Homosassa River enjoying the Manatees and the wildlife on the river. We should be back at the dock about 4:00

I will be renting the pontoonboat so I will need to collect $20 per person to cover the cost of the boat and fuel. 

Directions

Location; Meeting at the Riverside Retreat, for you GPS'er the address is, 10606 Halls River Rd, Homosassa, Fl.  Best to use mapquest if you don't have GPS.  Please plan to be at Riverside by 10:30 so as not to hold up the group.
