Manatee Tour - Awesome time with captain Glenn and guide Casey. Very nice/personable and knew what they were doing. We got to swim with multiple manatees and their babies as well as swim in the spring that was nice and refreshing.

Amazing experience ! - Such a fun and cool experience. Our guide John and captain Glenn were incredible and absolutely enhanced our experience. It wasn’t the ideal season for manatees but they made sure we saw a few and they took us to a beautiful spring to end our tour.

Amazing experience, bucket list checked off - Captain Glen and our tour guide in the water was Ryan. We had such an amazing experience. Swimming with the manatees was so much fun and we got a up close and personable experience so many people dream of. Glen and Ryan were so informative and so much fun. Our family highly recommends Swimming with the Manatees.

Magical experience - Jake and Captain Mike were absolutely the best! We had an incredible experience because these two gentlemen made it so. Very informative and passionate about preserving the environment for the manatees. I would do this adventure again in a heartbeat. Thank you both so much for such an incredible experience.

Great time at crystal river - It was such a good time, Captain Glenn and Captain Jake were both so knowledgeable but also so nice and welcoming! They got us up and close with 3 manatees, the last two being a mom and baby! It was magical and we will definitely be back ❤️

Bucket List ✔️ - What an experience! From booking to execution. Knowledgeable Captain (Alligator Man) and Guide (Dani). Equipment in great condition. Informative and friendly staff. Saw many Manatees to include Mama w Baby, and male Big Daddy. Tons of pictures in, under, and outside of water w option to purchase (not included in this review). After the swim we went to 3 Sisters....just breath taking! Highly recommended!! I'm going back and will take others w me! Ask for Dani! Beca North Carolina
