We went on a private, half-day tour to snorkel with Manatees. It was an amazing experience. Our guide and boat captain were amazing with the kids and even brought hot chocolate to warm them up. I highly recommend Crystal River Watersports!
We had a fantastic trip with Stephanie and Ralph. They gave us so much information about the local environment and about manatees while we were on the boat. They were just so interesting to listen too. I could have listened to Stephanie all day and Ralph did an amazing job capturing pictures of our swim. I would go out again with them in a heartbeat!
Captain Juan is the best! He was very safe, knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating. We had incredible manatee encounters with him at the helm. He is a fantastic guide and captain. Thank you for all the work you do to protect manatees! The rest of the staff at Crystal River Water Sports is great, too. I would highly recommend this company!
It was really beautiful. I like a lot how Leah and Dekota were very cautious and respectful with the manatees. Eco tours are the best ❤️
We did a manatee snorkel tour and it was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Captain Juan and our guide, Ralph, were incredible—so kind, professional, and unbelievably knowledgeable. They taught us not just about the manatees, but about the entire ecosystem and history of the area. Ralph even brought bones and skulls to help explain what we were seeing, which made the experience educational in the best possible way. They knew exactly where to take us to find manatees in quieter, less crowded areas, which made the encounters feel respectful, peaceful, and absolutely magical. We had amazing interactions while always feeling like the manatees’ safety and comfort came first. If you’re considering a manatee tour, HIGHLY recommend Crystal River Watersports. This is the team you want—expert, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about what they do. We would do it again in a heartbeat!
The boat captain and guide were excellent. I was surprised at how many people were there doing what we were doing. A great family outing
We had a great time and highly recommend this group for swimming with manatees in Crystal River! Juan and Leah were great guides, making sure our group had fun and were taken care of. The jackets and hand warmers were great when we got out. Hope to be back again, it was an unforgettable experience!
We are a Family of 4 adults and had a Manatee Tour. It was fantastic to swim and snorkel with the Manatees. Dakota and John, our tour guides, explained us the Environment, the nature and found good places for snorkeling with the Manatees. Thea have made it to a great experiance.
John and Dakota take pride in their efforts for Crystal River Watersports and their commitment to gusts truly shows. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. The entire team appreciates it.
Everything was phenomenal from the greeting by the office staff until I left. Capt Jim and Guide Kat were great. They provided an educational yet fun trip. There was extra effort to bypass other groups and continue looking in multiple locations for manatees. We ended up seeing 5 or 6 in the water including a mom and nursing calf. A rescue/released manatee with a tag came to us and Kat took us away from it to let it be. They provided as ecologically friendly tour as possible for the manatees and their environment. “I’ll be back!”
We did the manatee snorkel tour with Captain Juan and Ralph. This operation is outstanding, small tour groups, not that huge cattle boats out there trying to find manatee. We had a blast and saw lots of manatee and have great pictures and memories. Cpt Juan was that standing, we are so much about manatees, the history come in the area. Absolutely amazing trip you must do.
