Manatee Tours

Plantation on Crystal River’s Adventure Center & Dive Shop provides guests with
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim and interact with threatened West Indian
Manatees in the waters of Crystal River and Kings Bay. Snorkelers will find many of the
gentle creatures in the crystal-clear spring waters migrate during cooler winter months
with some that stay year-round. The manatees can also be easily observed from any
part of the Plantation’s expansive sea wall and gazebo point.

Scalloping
There is no better place to go scalloping on Florida’s Gulf Coast than Plantation on
Crystal River. Taking place in shallow waters, scalloping is a fun family activity that only
requires a snorkel, net and a pair of fins; no previous experience is needed. Scalloping

does require a special permit, but licensed group tours and charters are available for
those without a license. Scalloping season is typically July 1 to September 24.

Fishing
With Central Florida fishing at its finest, Plantation on Crystal River is located alongside
the Crystal River inlets and Kings Bay, just a short distance from local lakes and the
Gulf of Mexico. Whether by land or by sea, fishermen can cast a line for bass, grouper,
snook, flounder, redfish and other popular sport fish. At the end of a successful day of
fishing, Plantation’s chefs will be happy to prepare the fresh catch for the guest’s dining

pleasure.
