Awesome

Really wonderful experience! Derek and Shelby were so great and helpful. They answered all questions. I was a little nervous when first getting out on the water but they helped us feel comfortable pretty immediately. What a really cool and unique experience, getting to see manatees up close is absolutely a special experience. Highly recommend!

Bit of a let down

It could be great - but I was expecting Crystal clear water and a number of Manatees- the water was very murky low vis and only one Manatee that was being followed by one group after another of organised snorkelling groups - hmm not what I expected The staff and organisation and boat were excellent but - Manatee viewing?

Family Friendly Fun

Shelby and Dereck were fantastic answering all the questions my inquisitive six year old granddaughter had for them. We had so much fun and felt safe and informed the whole time. Thank you!

Super cool encounter with manatees

Eli and Aubrey. Thank you very much for this wonderful encounter with manatees. With great enthusiasm and drive they took my family to meet the manatees. A drone was used to search the Crystal River for manatees. This resulted in swimming with multiple manatees an incredible experience. Thank you again on behalf of my family.

Really cool experience!

Our captain and guide did a great job of locating a manatee and giving us plenty of time observing it. Such a neat experience.
