What a day! 🥰 - We had an amazing time! Captain Marc and Guide Sara did a marvellous job! We booked a Semi-Private tour. We had lots of time with the Manatees (we met three - as the time for manatees in this area just starts). We were very close as we stayed calm and just floated next to them. Sometimes, the manatee swam directly beneath us (just a couple of cm between us and the animals). Later on, we even had enough time to go to Three Sisters Springs and enjoyed snorkelling in the clear water of the springs. Thank you for making our last day of our vacation a very special one!

Magical experience - My husband and I had an absolutely fantastic experience on the manatee tour! The guide and boat captain were friendly, knowledgeable and so enthusiastic. We had a lot of fun and felt really lucky to get close to several manatees at a few different locations. Magical experience!

Just a lot of fun. - We saw manatees in the wild. The crew served us coffee, hot chocolate, and water. They gave us dry towels. They fitted us with wet suits and a dive mask with a snorkle. The gear was new, well cared for and clean. The crew are professionals and made sure we were safe, comfortable and entertained.

Paddletail hotel and Manatee tour - The hotel is very family friendly. The recommendations of where to eat made by the front desk were amazing. Every employee we encountered was extremely nice. The manatee tour was amazing. Ross and Guy were very passionate and patient with my 2.5 year old son. They also knew exactly where to go for us to have an amazing encounter with a mom and baby Manatee. This was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I look forward to coming back again and we will definitely stay here!

Great visit with the Manatees @ Crystal River - Chaz and Ross were absolutely fantastic. Given the limited Manatees, they bothed worked hard to get us a GREAT spot. The swim was fantastic, the sights were great and the stories were hilarious. If you want a great time, this is the place to go. Everyone was very friendly.
