The best way to see a manatee is by visiting Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. It has a captive herd of manatees in a natural spring setting, and the manatees are visible year-round. In order to see manatees at Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge, you must get to the area by boat. The refuge does not provide boat access, but you may obtain boat access through one of the many dive shops in the town of Crystal River. You may rent a boat, canoe or kayak, or go on a sightseeing trip or a guided snorkeling/dive trip.
