New York & Crystal River

Experience New York's magic before encountering the famous Florida Manatee's in Crystal River.

New York City, New York

The world-famous metropolis of iconic buildings, cute neighbourhoods, eclectic eateries and edgy urban fashion is ripe for discovery. You're positioned in the fabulously central neighbourhood of Murray Hill, a burrito's throw from the United Nations building and visitor centre and two blocks from the Chrysler Building. Walk a mere 20 minutes to the king of all icons, the Empire State Building. In the other direction, you can stroll a mile to the historic Rockefeller Center and NBC Studio Tours, and the nearby Radio City Music Hall.

Crystal River, Florida

After a thrilling three days in The City That Never Sleeps, you’ll hop on plane and travel to Crystal River on Florida's western coast. This scenic coastal city surrounds Kings Bay, which is fed by turquoise springs, and is perhaps best known as the location of Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge, which in turn is home to the gentle giant of the river - the Florida manatee. What could be better than exploring this stunning coastal city than with a scenic boat tour of Kings Bay and a snorkelling tour of Crystal River’s sparkling waters, both included with this offer? During the latter you have the chance of coming face to face with the beautiful manatees. This offer also includes four days of car hire in Florida, so you have the freedom to discover the area’s secrets at your own pace.
