Crystal Springs Manatee Refuge
   

We visited the Crystal Springs Manatee Refuge at Crystal River on our way to Englewood. Crystal River, about 90 minutes north of Tampa. It's one of the few places where you can snorkel with manatees, and take a guided kayak tour among the manatees. We didn’t go snorkeling but we did take the guided kayak tour.
