This is taken from the observation deck at Homosassa Springs Wildlife Refuge, the best place to spend the day and view manatees in Homosassa. While we were watching these people on the pontoon boat preparing to swim with manatees, dolphins came in up the Homosassa River. I just barely captured one on the far left of the picture, right in front of the kayaker. There were two of them. Dolphins and manatees in the same spot!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

We recommend the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park to anyone traveling through Crystal River. We heard if you are traveling with dogs, they have a complimentary kenneling with staff to watch while you visit the park. Lou the hippo was our favorite.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

The glass bottom boat was covered with green scum and there were no manatees swimming there as we had seen before.
