Amazing tour! - Steve and Bree were amazing!! Super knowledgeable and great company on our private tour. They truly went above and beyond to make our trip memorable! 10/10 experience

Good trip. - Good trip, very friendly staff, and we really enjoyed it. Would recommend this yo anyone who wants to swim with manatees,

Wonderful experience! - We had a really good time on our private manatee tour! Steve was our captain and Elizabeth was our guide, and they were awesome. They were very knowledgeable about the area and the manatee. They worked hard to find good manatee viewing spots. The boat was nice, they had towels and hot chocolate for us after getting out of the water. We actually were also able to see some dolphins. Overall, a very good experience that I would definitely recommend.

Private tour was wonderful! - Steve and Liz were amazing guides—very knowledgeable and fun! 5MM wet suits were a game changer, very warm and buoyant. The private boat tour was the perfect family setting and the warm drinks were fabulous!

Great manatee snorkling - Captain Ross was a great water guide, got us on manatees for an hour and a half. Very knowledgeable and knew what to look for and how to keep us with the manatees.

Awesome waterfront adventure with manatee. - Great experience. We are the first one there so we got to see the manatee by ourselves. Morgan is our guide and she’s super nice and accommodating with our two little girls. She even gave them a ride on her back as they were scared at first in the water. I highly recommend her and this place.

The coolest experience ever - Everything from start to finish of the tour was incredible. We were welcomed with smiling faces into the shop and fitted for wetsuits then brought down to the boat we would be taken out that day. The three sisters springs were closed the day we went but our guide Morgan and captain glenn pivoted and took us to another spring that was full of manatees! Morgan was incredible at bringing us away from the other groups and she has a special way of bringing all the manatees around us. We were both hugged by a manatee which made the trip unforgettable. Thank you Morgan and Glenn for providing a safe and amazing experience for us! I would recommend this to everyone and anyone! What an amazing day!!!

Exceptional experience up close with these gentle creatures - Chilly Florida winter had lowered our expectations for a good time but we had a fantastic morning. Excellent orientation, thick wetsuits ( 5mm - anything less would have definitely made the experience less good) and friendly knowledgable boat captain and guide ( Andy and John) . Out to Kings bay where we saw so many manatees up so close....water a bit murky but didn't reduce the enjoyment! On to another site where the water was much clearer and manatees swam under us to enter a spring. Private heated boat with a toilet was a birthday present to myself - when we emerged from viewing exhilarated but chilly it was worth every cent! Tour ended with a trip around the bay looking at the sights and then we were able to buy a great set of videos and photos taken by John to remember the event.

Bucket list, CHECK! Capt Mike's was great!!!! - We did the 6 person private tour. We had a blast!!! Our crew was Capt Glen and Capt Morgan (ha! no joke). The Manatee experience was amazing. They are so fun and gentle giants. The baby Manatee are curious and playful. They will come right up to you!. Capt Morgan was our swim guide and she was great. We had a 7yr old and a 9yr old. My 7yr old daughter was cold but Morgan encouraged her to at least see a few Manatee before going back on the boat. Once my daughter was done, Morgan took her back to the boat where capt Alan offered babysitting duty and he embraced it. He ensured the rest of the group had fun while keeping my 7yr old daughter comfortable and safe which I truly appreciated. Morgan took photos of us and the manatee and got some great shots. You do need to buy them when done if you want them but we thought it was well worth it. My only minor complaint is that I was under the impression we were to get a house boat that had a bathroom and was temperature controlled. We visited the 1st week in January of 2024 and It was a 45 F degrees outside. The winter months is the time to go because thats when Manatee migrate to Crystal River (There were hundreds!). The pontoon boat was enclosed and heated, however it would have been nice to have a bathroom on board which we thought we would have. You do get wetsuits and the water is a constant 72 degrees year round so it's not too bad. After the swim, the crew provided coffee, snacks, hot chocolate and Manatee Mochas! If we decide to swim with the Manatees again we would definitely do Capt. Mikes!
