Viewing Guidelines
Look, But Don't Touch
It is pretty simple. When you are around manatees do not feed them or give them water. Basically, stay out of their way and leave them alone. It helps them to survive. More guidelines for boaters, divers, Florida Springs and nature enthusiasts are available from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Best Viewing Time of Year
The best time to see manatees in Florida is from November to March. Cooler temperatures during these months entice these gentle creatures to warm-water havens such as natural Florida Springs and power plant outlets. Throughout the winter, manatees congregate in large numbers, making it easier to spot them.
On colder days, when manatees congregate around these tempting warm sources, viewing opportunities are typically ideal. Whatever location you select to admire these peaceful sea mammals, try to time your visit with cooler weather to increase your chances of an outstanding manatee encounter.
