Had a great day! - Me and my family went to the crystal river to go swim with manatees. Todd and Leah were excellent with Crystal River Manatees to help us complete our goal of swimming with a manatee.

Great experience, so glad we went with Todd and Leah. - What a nice day we had. Arrived early in case of traffic, and instead of waiting till our allotted time, Todd and Leah just dropped everything and got us going. Not too many manatees around this time of year, but it didn't take our guides long to find them, and get us in with them. Found a mother and it's calf and Leah helped us to stay with them for a decent period of time while respecting the animals, and also the time of others who had come to see them.
We were treated more like we were friends, on a friends boat, such was the welcome. We'd heard of Todd and Leah by recommendation of someone we know, and that recommendation was spot on. They knew their stuff, were great company and we're really pleased we booked with them, and look forward to doing it again in the wintertime when the manatees are more plentiful. Thank you Todd and Leah :)

very hard working and understanding - Took the whole office
staff out to see some manatees and ended up getting to see / swim with A mum and relitively new baby and they went above and beyond to accommodate our larger group which they only usually take to to 6.

Best Experience Ever!!! - I went with my family and had a terrific experience. Leah and Captain Andrew took us out for the best and closest view of the manatees. They were extremely nice and outgoing. Super funny. This trip let us see a mom and calf as well as other manatees and crystal water. Wonderful memory and pictures were taken as well:)

The best guides und Sweet manatees - We had such a great time with Leah and Todd. The trip we booked was amazing and we saw a lot of manatees. Leah took wonderful pictures and videos all the time, so we had a lot of great souveniers to take home as well.
Both guides were so much fun and we laughed a lot! We recommend this private tour to everyone who likes it a bit more personal and want so see manatees aside common areas.

Family with kids Manatee experience - We couldn't be happier with the professionalism and care provided by our tour guides, Captain Todd and Elizabeth. They went above and beyond to enhance our experience, from selecting the perfect swimming spots to ensuring the safety and comfort of our 4-year-old. We were able to get up close to at least 6 different Manatees, and it was an unforgettable experience as they gracefully swam around us multiple times. The photography service offered is a must-try; it truly captures the love and passion the entire company has for these amazing creatures.
