There’s a special kind of quiet that falls over the river when a manatee appears — the soft glide, the gentle rise for air, the calm that settles in as you watch one of Florida’s most iconic animals move through crystal-clear water. 💙

Watching manatees in the wild isn’t just magical… it’s meaningful. These gentle giants depend on warm springs like Weeki Wachee to survive the winter, seeking out 72° water when the Gulf gets too cold. Every slow movement, every calf following close behind, is a reminder of how carefully they navigate the world — and how much they rely on healthy, protected waterways.

When you view manatees from a clear kayak, you’re seeing behavior that’s entirely natural: grazing on vegetation, gliding along the bottom, or resting quietly. And when we keep our distance, stay calm, and let them choose the interaction, we help ensure they can thrive for generations to come.

Moments like these inspire connection, curiosity, and a deep respect for the wild. That’s the true magic of watching manatees — not just seeing them, but understanding their story. 🌊💙

📍Get Up and Go Kayaking Weeki Wachee

Glide through crystal-clear waters, surrounded by towering cypress trees and the magic of Old Florida 🌿🛶✨ On a guided kayak tour at Weeki Wachee, you’ll do more than paddle. You’ll spot wildlife, learn the spring’s secrets, and see the river like never before.

Happy #ManateeMonday! 🌊🌊🌊⁠
📸: @introsparked⁠
⁠
Who doesn't love "seacows," the potato-shaped sirens of the sea?⁠
⁠
Next time you're out exploring Florida's amazing springs, rivers and waterways, remember:⁠
⁠
💠 Always look out for manatees, especially while boating (a pair of polarized sunglasses can help you see them more easily).⁠
⁠
💠 Be aware of waterways, speed zones, and shallow areas.⁠
Manatees swim an average of three to five miles per hour, making it difficult for them to escape boaters.⁠
⁠
💠 Give manatees space. Even though manatees might seem friendly, petting or harassing them can change their behavior and lead to more health risks. Manatees are listed as a threatened species and are legally protected.⁠
⁠
Check out the link in bio for more ways you can help manatees and where to spot them on #FLAdventureCoast.⁠

Summer may be 'over' but the weather is still perfect for diving into s Florida beautiful spring. With school back in session, you'll find this lovely park to be even more peaceful during the week. 🌴🌊🌴 The slides are now closed (except on weekends) until September 29, but the springs are open year-round!⁠
