Perfect day in nature! - Alissa and kaitlin made this such a peaceful, emersive beautiful day in nature! The Springs are so unique and clear. Wildlife in its natural habitat is special to see. Loved the manatees and Alissa did a wonderful job capturing photos throughout the tour - some were cool underwater shots of the manatees.

My experience - At first me and my partner were skeptical but our guide and the beautiful wild life made us comfortable. You don’t even realize you’ve been working out your arms for 1hr. It’s a magical experience and would definitely recommend this activity if you’re nearby.

Very enjoyable morning kayaking - I was the only one at the tour on that date. And there were only few other paddlers. It was a week after school holiday. Probably that’s the reason. The tour guide said -usually very busy. I saw 6 manatees, one was a baby. They were just right at the start point. It was off season, in August. I feel very lucky. Saw mama alligator and six baby gators, turtles, fishes and birds. Saw the cave systems where the springs are formed. And also only one customer. Felt like a private tour. The tour guide was very patient and nice. Took photos and videos for me. Waited for me while I was taking photos and videos. You are not allowed to swim. If you want to swim with manatees, check Crystal River website.

Alligators and cute otters - It was an impressive tour. The guide knew the area extremely well and showed us the right places. We saw turtles, alligators and cute otters. We didn't see any manatees, but that was because they are currently in the sea. The tour is definitely recommended!
