Great manatee (underwater) viewing - Wonderful experience! Krystina guided us with the manatees. We saw so many. Dillon (the boat captain) is a wealth of information. Really worth it.

Amazing experience!! - Couldn't have asked for a better experience swimming with the manatees! The staff was so friendly and accomadating for our family. Our guide John was able to get us right up to these animals and made the whole experience very relaxing for us. We even had a baby manatee come interact with us! Evan our captain was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and is also a local to the Crystal River area. If you're thinking about booking a trip this company is top notch! By far our favorite experience visiting florida and we will certainly be booking another excursion next year!!

Awesome experience, great guides, lots of manatees! - This was an awesome tour! Nice small group, very intimate and great to not feel crowded. They were respectful of the manatees and as a marine scientist I appreciated that. Captain Dylan and Guide Gary were awesome and very knowledgeable, I’d love to go out with them again! Slightly misleading that you have to pay extra for photography, I feel like it would have been better to know that up front. But all around an amazing experience!

Magical! - Magical experience! it was a very cold and rainy day, but the water is a constant 72o and a wet suit was provided. The guide and the boat captain were excellent. They told me what to expect and helped me prepare for the cold. I will definitely do this again when I visit Florida. Unforgettable!

Bucket list checked off in style! - Took the private snorkeling excursion with Evan and John - they made this a trip to remember! We booked our trip a few days prior and they fit us in. At the office they fitted us (kids to large adults) with wetsuits in their clean and warm changing area. A quick drive to the pier, short walk to the boat and less than 15 minute boat ride to the viewing area. Masks and snorkels on! John got in the water and led us up close. The water was a little chilly, and the complementary hot chocolate hit the spot! Overall an exciting, informative, and entertaining excursion. Thanks so much!

Fantastic experience! - Everyone in the office were friendly, helpful and welcoming. We had Evan as a captain and John as our snorkeling guide, both were fantastic. The experience is unforgettable! The equipment was in top shape and we were with manatees almost immediately! Great trip and highly recommend this company.
