Keep in mind that manatees are early risers, and the early morning tours offer the optimal opportunity to observe their morning activities before taking a nap.
After a captivating manatee encounter, the early morning tour typically returns before lunch, providing an opportunity to grab a bite. Afterwards, you can prepare for an afternoon dive or snorkel tour on the beautiful Rainbow River, ensuring a full day of fun.
