Manatees and Memories - This place is a super cool experience that few may offer. Shawn and Todd are super friendly and experienced. Even on a early day with a storm coming we still had a great time.

Awesome - Captain and guide were very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Considering the unseasonably warm conditions in Florida in the month of February the adventure was still an amazing experience. Leah the photographer went beyond expectations to get some very nice pictures.

AWESOME even in less than ideal conditions! - Guide Leah and Captain Todd were fantastic, friendly and accommodating! They went out of their way to accommodate us and ensure a wonderful time. I highly recommend this tour and this tour company. Leah, photographer, was awesome! Look no further! Conditions were not ideal and manatee were sparse and sleepy BUT that is out of their control. Nonetheless, it was a great, unforgettable adventure.

AWESOME! Book with this tour company! - Guide Lia and boat captain were so awesome! The weather was too warm to see many manatee, other guests kept mucking up the water so that I could not see. The manatee were not very active BUT this tour was awesome and I have the crew to thank for that. They went out of their way to make sure we were happy.

Awesome experience with Manatees! - Leah was the best guide during our swim with the Manatees. Tom, the captain, provided plenty of information about the Manatees. Together, the perfect team. Leah took great photos. Well worth purchasing since they are included in this trip. Definitely highly recommended!

Awesome experience! Great Company! - Took the tour with my family, we had a great time. From the moment we arrived we felt very welcomed. Once set up in wet suits and after watching the safety video we boarded with Leah and Captain Todd. We had 2 in our group who weren't going to swim with the manatees and were going to hang back but they were kindly invited to board the boat and go with us. We really appreciated them allowing everyone in our group to join the adventure. Leah did a great job making us all feel comfortable and Captain Todd did a great job giving us facts about the area, and having coffee and hot chocolate available as a quick warm up between swims was very much so appreciated. Todd is a Buffalo native, it was great to meet a fellow New Yorker (Go Bills!). Swimming with the manatees was priceless, Leah was very knowledgable and kind, she took great photos and made sure we all felt comfortable and saw all we were able to see. Three Sisters Springs was by far our favorite location, absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend Crystal River Manatee Adventures, we had lots of laughs, learned a ton, saw manatees, fish, and birds, a great experience all around! Thank you Leah & Todd!

So many manatees - I was thankful for the covered sitting area on the boat. The wetsuits were full length, much better than I had on previous visits.
