Great Manatee Experience! - Lauren was awesome! The manatees are in Kings Bay and it’s channels right now and we were able to see so many of them swimming from the springs out to feed. Lauren maneuvered the boat so that we could experience many manatees as well as the numerous birds and other wildlife.

Manatees, Alligators, and Eagles, Oh My! - Alyssa was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. She obviously loves what she does - sharing wildlife with her passengers! We found manatees, of course, but also alligators, a raccoon, eagles, and other cool birds. I highly recommend this trip.

Beautiful boat tour of Crystal River - Beautiful boat tour of Crystal River out to the Gulf. Captain Lenor was very personable. There wasn't a lot of wildlife out this particular day but we tried. She was very knowledgeable of the river. Enjoyable boat tour!
