Great day in Crystal River - Wife and I went to Crystal River, came up from Tampa and spent the day there. Can't say enough nice things about this tour and business. Caitlyn and Emily our tour guides were great, it was just the two of us on the tour which was awesome. Very relaxing and saw a bunch of manatees. We believe we saw one that was pregnant. Just an enjoyable tour with some wonderful tour guides that went at a very leisurely pace to really enjoy the wildlife and the surroundings. Also thanks Caitlyn for the recommendations on other hikes, we ended up doing the mounds trail and homossassa state park. Thanks again for a great experience and we will be back to do another tour. Highly recommend this group for any kayaking/snorkeling, etc tours.

Manatees galore! - Absolutely amazing experience, the clear kayaks made it so magical to see everything below you and watch the manatees swim beside/underneath you! Truly a wonderful time, looking forward to doing it again someday.

Great experience in ok weather! - It was not the best day for viewing but we still saw a ton of manatees and our guide was very informative about not just them, but other wildlife, the area, and the history. We were very close to numerous manatees and would go back again!

Best part of our vacation - Had such a great experience. First time kayakers and they taught us what to do, and we had the best guide. She didn't only show us the sea cows but named the birds, told us all the different ways the names for the canals were made up. She was great!

10/10 Would Recommend (Best Kayak Experience) - 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend over any other kayak tour! The clear kayaks were scratchless so you could actually see through them (unlike all the other companies). Our guide, Delaney, was amazing and super informative during the tour!

Crystal River has murky waters - The kayak guide was very good and we enjoyed the trip. The water in crystal river is murky and the region is a manatee refuge ( the Manatee resting areas are cordoned off) so it isn't easy to see them from the kayaks. Else it was a pleasant work out for us.

We were 2 adults with a... - We were 2 adults with a child, payed for two kayaks on site because it was only one option to book the tour, but in reality we needed only one kayak, we used only one kayak. We didn’t receive money back for one kayak. Tour was very good, our guide Delaney was super. We saw manatees and enjoyed our tour.
