Crystal River: Semi-Private Manatee Swim Tour With In Water Guide

The tour was fantastic. Captain Chris and guide Giggles (Leah) did their absolute best to ensure we saw a manatee. The subsequent trip to Three Sisters Springs was impressive—crystal-clear water, saw lots of fish and crabs and at the end also 2 alligators. We definitely recommend this tour and give 5 stars.

Due to weather conditions , our tour was rescheduled to the next day. Great service, thank you for that!! Even though the captain and guide warned us that august is not the best time for manatee spotting, they we're able to track 3 manatees. Wonderfull. We also did some snorkeling near springs and got a lot information about the wildlife at Crystal River. Thanks to captain Chris and guide Jay for the service and super experience.

We had a fantastic trip! We booked a trip at 10:00 AM and were the only two participants. Because we were there in the off-season, we did not see many manatees, but we were able to spend all the more relaxed time in the water. It was a unique experience and the small group was very advantageous. Our guides were super sweet and were able to answer all our questions. I would recommend the tour to everyone and would book it again anytime.

We had a really good experience, even though we went in the off season they made sure we still seen some manatees and were still able to swim with them. We will definitely book them for manatee season

Captain Chris and Amanda were very friendly and helpful! Both were very relaxed with us and knowledgeable about the manatees. The water is very murky but apparently that is always the case in the summer. For the clear water you must go in the winter. But still very fun to see the manatees up close. Thanks for a very fun day.

We had Captain Chris and Jay was our guide. They were both incredibly nice and knowledgeable. They spotted a manatee for our swim immediately after anchoring and we all had an incredible day!

We had Captain Chris & Giggles as our guide! They were very fun and welcoming on our tour & it was our first time swimming with manatees! We saw dolphins along the way too! I would go again on my next trip to Florida!

This was a great way to learn about Crystal River , the springs and the wildlife here. Of course the main event was getting to be up close and personal with a manatee. Todd and Giggles were great and made sure we were able to swim a manatee during the off season. We struck gold when they found us a non resident manatee. Their building is located very near by the marina, changing area, showers and a short couple of minutes drive. The boat was immaculate, defog spray readily available (even though we brought our own masks), Water, coffee, or hot chocolate and great conversation with our guides.

Amanda and Chris were wonderful! Had the best time!

We u stood it was off season to see Manatee but Giggles was absolutely amazing and gave us exactly what we hoped to experience . Loves every minute of it.
