Captain Laura and Crystal were great! We went off-season, but they were still able to find a manatee that we hung out with for a while! Answer all our questions and cared about the wildlife.

Daughters’ first snorkel success!
I cannot say enough good things about this experience! It was the #1 thing on my bucket list and I left with a full heart and a smile from ear to ear! I took my 7 and 8 year old daughters and the guide, Keri, was so wonderful with the girls while conducting an amazing experience for the entire group. It’s the off season in September but they took us out to a resident manatee in the Bay where we got to spend plenty of time in the water with it. Keri made sure everyone on our tour was respectful of the manatee and did not interfere with it going about its day to day. We also snorkeled the crystal blue water in each of the three springs - which was really cool in and of itself. Last but not least, the giftshop! We could’ve spent all day and a full paycheck on all the manatee stuff. When we first walked in I thought we might be in heaven. We will be back next year and will be sending friends!!

Loved it!
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! My husband Tom and I had the absolute pleasure of sailing with Captain Tyler and our wonderful Guide Faith. We had an amazing time swimming with the Manatees in their own environment and then boating in areas where we were fortunate enough to see dolphins, more manatees and lots of birds/wildlife. Tyler and Faith are knowledgeable, personable and fun! They shared a lot of information about the area as we were first time visitors. I highly recommend this tour!

Swimming with the Manatees! Lifetime experience
An absolute lifetime highlight! This tour stands out because of its highly hands-on, educational, and immersive approach. Our guide Shanna and Captain Brody were expert, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the trip. We also greatly appreciated Lauren’s seamless booking assistance and Jacob’s careful guidance to and from the boat. The level of customer service across the entire team is exceptional. If you want the premier tour option in Crystal River, look no further. Highly recommended. 5 stars!

Prolly the best thing we did in Florida
Capt Bill and Capt Tyler were amazing! Very nice and knowledgeable about the area. We found a manatee fairly quickly and stayed in the water for what seemed like a good amount of time. They took us to another area to just get out and enjoy the water. On our way back, they provided lunch recommendations too! Our daughter was a little nervous about getting in the water and Tyler was excellent at making her more comfortable. Maddie says you’re the goat Tyler! 😄 Would definitely recommend them for a manatee swim-knowledgeable, respectful of the environment and the animals, and a lot of fun!
