Snorkeling With Manatees in Homosassa River- Review
Snorkeling With Manatees offers a great manatee experience in Homosassa River
March 22nd, 2023
During the winter months Homosassa River is graced with an inflow of the manatees searching for warm water. Whether you are a native to Florida or just visiting, swimming with manatees is always a special and unique experience. Located in the heart of Homosassa Springs, Snorkeling With Manatees offers an incredible and relatively private diving experience that offers an excellent opportunity to learn more about and unite with these gentle giants.
The Snorkeling With Manatees experience begins as soon as you step foot on the dock. After meeting with the Master Captain, he will give you a quick rundown of what the tour will entail. Although, these creatures are very large (up to 3000 pounds) and resilient, their populations have decreased over the years and are considered endangered. He goes over how to prepare for the tour as well as going over the do’s and don’ts of what to do in the water to optimize our experience as well as the experience of the manatees. We were then fitted in our wetsuits and were ready to go. 
As we got on the watercraft, we were given masks, noodles and snorkels. Snorkeling With Manatees keeps the tours small to enhance each guest’s experience. The maximum number of occupants is six, giving everyone a fair shot at getting a great view of the sea cows. On the way down the river, we learned a little bit about the history as well as the geographical significance for the manatees. He had great knowledge of the area, which was essential in finding the hot spots the manatees liked to hang out. We learned a lot about the area as well as the potential environmental issues that it is facing and ways they are attempting to remedy them. Passive observation was stressed many times on the trip. Each time we stopped, we had a great opportunity to get in the water and get up-close and personal with these amazing creatures.
We had an amazing experience. The weather was great the day we went out and many of the manatees were still lingering around from the chilly days they previously had. We got a chance to see many different manatees and spend a good amount of time passively observing them. This was a great time to take photographs and videos of the experience. The company also provides trip photos for a fee that can be arranged before the trip.
Snorkeling With Manatees gave an excellent manatee swimming experience. From the second you walked up to the dock you could sense the passion they have for these amazing creatures. Manatee tours are given during the winter months when the manatees are out in plenty. When the temperature rises and the manatees flock back out into the gulf, Snorkeling With Manatees offers fishing and scalloping tours.

The wildly immersive exhibition brings glowing sculptures, larger-than-life installations, and playful wonder to Mana Wynwood.
May 18, 2026
The internationally celebrated Balloon Museum has officially made its Miami debut with Pop Air: Art is Inflatable, a bright, bold, and wildly imaginative exhibition now open at Mana Wynwood Convention Center. This immersive art experience brings together giant inflatable installations, glowing sculptures, digital environments, and interactive works that turn a museum visit into a full-on adventure.
From the moment guests step inside, Pop Air Miami feels like a dreamy playground for the senses. It is colorful, surprising, and wonderfully larger than life, with each room inviting visitors to walk, wander, look up, move closer, and fully experience the artwork around them. This is not the kind of exhibit where you stand quietly in the corner and nod thoughtfully. This is art you feel, explore, and definitely photograph.
Opening night offered a special VIP after-hours experience with drinks, a private tour, and a closer look at the creative vision behind the exhibition. The result was a night that felt playful, polished, and very Miami, with guests moving through glowing worlds and oversized installations that made every turn feel like a new discovery.
Among the standout pieces is Hypercosmo, an immersive light-and-sound environment that surrounds guests in a futuristic, otherworldly atmosphere. Another must-see moment is Mariposa, a glowing 26-foot butterfly powered by more than 39,000 LEDs. It is dramatic, beautiful, and exactly the kind of dazzling centerpiece that makes people stop mid-conversation and reach for their phones.
What makes Balloon Museum Miami especially fun is how easy it is to enjoy for almost anyone. Kids will love the scale, color, and playful energy. Adults will appreciate the design, creativity, and international artistry. Content creators will have plenty to capture. Families, couples, friends, and art lovers can all find something to love inside this inflatable world.
The exhibition fits perfectly in Wynwood, a neighborhood already known for murals, creativity, and immersive experiences. But Pop Air: Art is Inflatable brings something different to Miami’s art scene. It is soft and spectacular, lighthearted and impressive, and filled with moments that make you feel like you have wandered into a world where imagination took up all the space.
Whether you are planning a family outing in Miami, looking for a fun Wynwood date night, searching for things to do in Miami this weekend, or just want a new immersive art experience to add to your list, Balloon Museum Miami is an easy yes.
To step inside the inflatable world for yourself, tickets and details are available at https://tickets.balloonmuseum.world/miami/
