Amazing tour with respect to nature - We did the Tour on August 21.
It was amazing. Kelly and Kevin did a great job. It was a super guidance, so that we came super near to the manatees.
Kelly and Kevin gave us the best view to these animals with respekt to the nature and to the free living manatees.
Thank you!

AMAZING!!! - Swimming with manatees tour. An absolute must. I am a non swimmer and was only going along with my partner so he could experience this. I was going to stay on the boat and take photos. I was nervous and thought I wouldn’t get in the water. Colin and Carlos were amazing, experienced, knowledgeable and laid back. Colin spent 2 hours with me on his back in the water! It was lovely seeing the manatees and we had a lovely encounter with a baby manatee. Colin was so patient with me and kept checking I was ok. This is the best excursion I’ve ever been on and one of the best experiences of my life. I want to do it again already. It’s a definite must even if you are a non swimmer like me.

Unforgettable experience! - Fantastic experience! Captain Dallas was so patient and kind with us as we were new to snorkeling. He gave us a tour of some of the bays and canals...and then found a quiet spot with several manatees that we swam with for well over an hour. It was unforgettable! The young woman who did check-in and orientation (sorry, can't remember her name) was great too...friendly and so knowledgeable. Thank you!!

Wonderfully memorable - Money well spent! We had a blast on this tour. It was just our family of 5 on the boat with the captain Dallas. He was wonder he explained everything and was very patient with our 3 young children (10, 7, and 3). He even let our 3 year old sit on the boat with him, since she decided 10-20 minutes in that she was finished, while the rest of us snorkeled. We didn’t have a second crew member snorkeling with us but the guide from another Seadaddy’s group swam over and helped us get situated. I believe his name was Collin. Again very friendly and patient with our children! This was by far one of the funniest things we have done as a family thanks to the friendly and personable demeanor of all of the staff!

Great Cpt, and Guide for a great day with the Manatees. - It was amazing, we got to see quite a few manatees. They were very knowledgeable about the manatees, and answered any question we had about them. The Cpt. and the guide were very friendly and cater to us.

Amazing experience - It was magic to be able to see the manatees in their habitat wuthout disturbing them. The crew was really friendly and explained us curiosities about the manatees.
Excellent price-quality relation, highly recommended!

Enjoyable adventure. - Sea Daddy's Chrystal River Swim tour of King's Bay was all it was expected to be this time of year. Chris our Captain and Lonnie Linn our swimming guide took great care of us. They were very knowledgeable of the history of Kings Bay and the manatees that live there. Although this time of year, late summer, there aren't too many manatees in the bay yet, we found five and were able to swim with two for as long as we wanted. They are magnificent animals to watch. A bit slow but very cool.
Sea Daddy just moved their operations to their new location on 1st Street and it was very nice and close to their dock. Excellent experience all!

WORST GUIDE EXPERIENCE - I have been in tours and activities for 3 months in Florida however i had never felt so ignored and disappointed on the customer service and above all the tour guide. I prepaid for a guide and pictures who was supposed to be with me but the truth is that the guide is there for everyone and even though the other group of 2 did not pay for pictures or a guide he was almost 95% focused on them. Now Im Hispanic and the rest where from here so im not sure what the reason was but i felt very discriminated and the extra money i paid was not only a waste but really i feel that it was a scam. There are many groups that offer tours... If you are not white perhaps you should find another tour and definitely just get a water cámara since the guide is there regardless.
Also... all tours I had been to here in both coasts of Florida including the egmont snorkeling, parasailing, arts district etc the guides have educated is about everything as we go and this guide was just speaking nonsense about other groups etc.
We only saw two manetees, mom with a baby for about 5 minutes if the 2 hour tour and had to find our way back to the car on our own also... so the tour actually only lasts 2 hours not 3.

Do not recommend - This company never hear of customer service. They clearly do not value their customers. There are many manatee tours out there, stay away from this one.
