Great time would go again. Educational and fun - This was a great experience and Glenn and Abby were the best. Knowledgeable and fun. Seeing and learning about the manatees was awesome. They also knew a-lot about the area along with other wildlife. Ask Glenn about hid wrestling

Manatee swim - We had an amazing time with John and Steve. We didn't see many manatee, but they made sure we all got close to one and got us good pictures and videos. Then we swam to Three Sisters spring and got to see the crystal clear water. John and Steve were both very knowledgeable about the area and the manatee. We will definitely be back - hopefully when there are more manatee in the area!

Best tour ever!! - On a whim my family decided to do a private manatee tour. We were a bit skeptical going into the trip but Molly and Steve were quick to ease any worry we had. We put on our wetsuits and mine was very uncomfortable at first but they were very kind in getting me a new one and making sure it was perfect before we left. As we were leaving along with funny stories and reassuring words, Steve told me about how I can become a dive master, which was a dream I didn't know I had until today. Once we got to the bay they explained how things would go once we got in the water and helped us get in. Molly was incredibly helpful and patient in the water, kindly reminding us where to go, and pulling us along when needed. I was very afraid of accidentally running into a manatee or one running into me so she kept reminding me to breathe and stay still which helped me feel more at ease and get more comfortable being around the manatees. She made sure to show us all the manatees that passed by, especially the mommas with their babies and if we were floating too close or struggling at all she was ready to help us get where we needed to be. Overall I would give the experience 100 stars if I could, I felt comfortable, safe, and very entertained. I am so glad we decided to do this. I will definitely be back again soon.

JAY AND GLENN ROCK - We almost decided not to do this excursion but it was so worth it! Our guides/captains Jay and Glenn RULE!! It was so much fun and I cannot express that enough! The water was cold but the wetsuits you wear help. We saw so many manatees!

Perfect Day in Crystal River - Mark and John are absolutely wonderful! First time ever snorkeling and I felt so well informed, safe and excited! We were incredibly lucky to be able to check out the three sisters springs which is often closed off. Most of all you can tell just how much everyone here loves and respects these amazing creatures!
