My partner and I had visited Crystal River last fall and decided to take visiting family at Christmas this year. What a wonderful experience. We went to three sites before we finally found a pod of sleeping manatees, but once found, the baby woke up it's mother and both swam with us for quite some time while we gently stroked... More

We had a wonderful family Manatee experience. It took a little bit to find a pod that would approach us, but an unforgettable experience when these gental giants let us pet them. These mammals are huge, 10 feet or so and weight 800 pounds. They rolled over like a dogs and wanted us to rub their belly. Our boat captain... More

I took a snorkeling tour with this business in the past and decided to go back again on our next trip to Florida. We saw several manatees in the water even though it was a cooler day in December. Captain Wayne was very friendly and informative about the manatees and the environmental issues FL residents are concerned about with the... More

Not sure what I expected but I did expect clear water. We drove around in the boat looking for manatees and when some were sighted everyone got into the water. The water was very murky and dirty and we could not see any manatees unless we were right on top of them. Our boat Captain was was nice, funny and... More

The staff was awesome, and though I don't recommend taking a toddler or small child (as I did, it's harder for you as the adult to enjoy the experience as you should especially if the child cannot swim, as my daughter wasn't snorkeling and obviously doesn't know how to), the trip was still awesome and our tour guide, Shay, was...

Floating with the manatees in the Crystal River springs was one of the best things we've ever done. We got fitted with wetsuits, snorkels and flippers and off we went on the boat ride to the springs. We spent about 1 1/2 hours in the water watching the manatees do their thing. Makes you really appreciate the wonder of the... More

I highly recommend this tour of the manatee. You will experience a great time as well as learn so much about the manatee. I will tell all my friends and shout them to the world. Great job, guys. Informative and reverent.
