The guides were awesome with us. Experienced, knowledgeable and very friendly - Had an amazing time swimming with the manatees. They are gentle giants. Will go back again to revisit the manatees with this company. #1 in my book

5 Heart Experience - The entire experience from start to finish was amazing. Both Captain Todd and Leah our guide, were so welcoming and friendly throughout the entire adventure. They were extremely knowledgeable about the manatees as well as where to go in the area for food and more adventures. Our day was just perfect, great weather, no crowds!!! There were only 4 of us on the tour, so we received very personalized attention. Leah actually guided me by the hand to ensure she was able to get a great kiss shot with the manatees. All without touching and staying within the guidelines for proper behavior and respectful interaction with the animals. Truly an amazing wonderful experience!!!! Thanks guys, we had a blast! Oh and did I mention that they had an enclosed area on the pontoon with heat and hot chocolate ready for us when we got out of the water!!! PERFECT way to warm our bodies to match our warmed hearts from the experience. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

Recomend - It was an great tour. We recommend to take an early morning tour, because there are not so many people in the park in that time. We were alone, so our tour guide can adjust tour to our wishes. She and the captain did the great job.

Amazing experience - Captain and Leah are both super friendly and knowledgeable. They know all about manatees and the area. It was freezing after we snorkeled in the springs, but they offered hot chocolate and had wind shields on their boat. It really helped warm us up. Leah took some great pictures of us with manatees, too! We’d like to come back in summer for scalloping. Thank you so much!

Incredibly great tour! - We had booked the first tour first thing in the morning at 06:30 and didn't even begin to regret getting up early. The team was incredibly competent and offered everything for a great experience. Equipment, boat and escort in the water perfect. And the price for the great photos was not too high in the end. Thanks to Crystal River!!!

Perfectly wonderful! - What a wonderful adventure! There were only two of us on the boat, we basically had a private tour! We were inches away from the manatees! It was incredible! I can’t say enough about Troy and Leah, they were amazing guides; Leah has more patience than anyone I’ve ever met. My friend had never snorkeled before but they taught her how to do it, stayed right with her the entire time we were in the water, literally holding her hand the whole time so she was able to enjoy the experience. They had great stories to tell, so much knowledge about the animals and the area, it was a delight. We’re already talking about going again next year with our husbands!

Wow! Manatees!! And the best crew!!! - From the moment we arrived until goodbye we felt like we long friends. No one else was booked so we got the private treatment by luck but I don't think more people would have made any difference. We were treated to stories and jokes and toured around Crystal River and met many manatees. The photographer took pictures we would have struggled to obtain ourselves and this trip will be the highlight of our whole vacation. Already planning to go back in January. Cannot recommend more highly!!!
