And from the staff to the dock hands, to the quality of the vessel and cleanliness of the shop: 10/10. A guide handed us a laminated map (nice touch) and told us where to head for manatee sightings. And even pointed us to a cove that homes a lot of turtles and alligators. We saw it all! They have volunteers overseeing the 3 sisters springs, to help monitor the safety of the manatees (and scold ignorant people lol). Great time! If you're unsure, let me assure you.. just book.

This is a venue more than a business. Hudson Grotto is a dive site in Pasco County owned by Scuba…read moreWest. Please note: THIS IS NOT A REVIEW OF SCUBA WEST - ONLY THE DIVE SITE ITSELF. Hudson Grotto is a prehistoric limestone sink. It is brackish waters so, part fresh, part salt. There are several resident turtles and, though not seen during my visit, I understand that a barracuda also calls this site his home. If you are thinking this is a site where you can go and explore with crystal clear waters, you would be mistaken. Because of the make-up of the water and surrounding trees, the water is brown and visibility is only about 10 ft. That being said, it is an excellent location for training dives such as Stress and Rescue, Deep and Night/Limited visibility. Below 20 ft, you really need to have a flashlight. It gets very dark very quickly. The site has several things to explore, including a bus, statues and the limestone formations. This location is also very deep (beyond recreational limits) so be sure to only dive within your training and limitations. I will say that the site is very well maintained. There is a sheter with several picnic tables to put together your gear. There are no showers/bathroom but a port-a-potty is onsite. There is a dive shop across the street for you to check in and purchase that flashlight :) There is also a fire pit, if one wants to build a fire and cook some hotdogs. There are a few parking places inside the gate (4 or 5)- otherwise plan to park at the Scuba shop across the street or on the street itself. Overall, I gave the site a 3 star simply because of the visibility and the smell of my gear after getting out of the water which is no fault of anyone. It is truly a great place to do some advanced scuba classes.

Welcome to Weeki Wachee Springs... home of one of the Sunshine State's original roadside attractions. (second maybe only to orange juice stands). If you love clear water, gentle humor, fun costumes, old Florida, a little razzle dazzle and a whole lot of bubbles, you'll get a kick out of the mermaid shows. The mermaids have their own theater and the kids aren't the only ones who get sucked into the fairy tale. The vibes are so laid back, you could be lulled into forgetting how hard these underwater moves are. They make it look easy-but there's some serious athleticism and training, behind all of the underwater fun... and they do it all... while wearing tails! (like Ginger Rogers keeping up with Fred Astaire-but backwards and in high heels) The mermaid show is adjacent to the water park. They share a parking lot and a ticket window. You could make a day out of it. There's a cute gift shop... and random peacocks wandering around... plus photo ops with the mermaids. I love the history of this place-they do a good job sharing it at the show. I'll let them tell you. The show is part of Weeki Wachee State Park. When i went (March 2026), it was $13 for adults-I think $8 for kids and I believe the youngest ones get in free. The water park and paddle boarding are extra but the admission covers the mermaids and I think the river cruise is included. The mermaid shows run a few times a day-and seats fill up quickly, so get there about 30 minutes early on busier days (summer and weekends). It's so Florida-you've gotta go! Have fun!

The mermaid show is the big draw from this "famous " Floridian roadside show. Once privately owned,…read moreit has now been acquired by the State of Florida. We were late for the show, because the website failed to post times and were unreachable via phone, email, or the websites frequently asked questions. We caught the last 15 minutes of the show as it runs from 11-11:30, 1:30-2pm and 3-3:30pm. It's a relatively small park. The mermaid show is cute if you have children under the age of 10 years old. Otherwise, give it a miss. Admission is $13 ea a little less for kids. 4 of us cost about $42 for entrance fees. They have a water slide that was not operating. They have a small "nature " walk. They have a boat that was not running to look at nature and they have a 30 minute animal encounter educational experience with a ranger. She showed and talked about two kinds of turtles, a snake and a small alligator. Walking around they have photo ops to look like a mermaid and after the show you have a chance to photograph yourself with a live mermaid from the show. If you have $50- $100 your kid can have a "mermaid makeover". We were at the park for maybe 1.5 hours. I suppose if the boat was running and the water slide was operating one could spend up to 3 hours. It was an interesting experience. Once is enough.
