Highly recommend!!! - Such a better experience than I ever could have expected!! Tour guide Leah and capt. Todd made the whole experience so memorable and were so informative and kind! We were out of season for manatees but still saw two beautiful manatees up close and personal with such clear water!!! It was an incredible experience! Then we swam around the 3 sisters spring with even clearer water and beautiful scenery! Will be back to do it again!!

Bucket list success. - Captain Mike and Shawn were excellent hosts for our manatee adventure. Both were very knowledgeable and had plenty of stories to share. Thanks for an amazing trip and the hot chocolate to warm us up afterwards.

The best trip and guided tour! - This was one of the best experiences of my life! It was just me and my 2 friends. This tour is unique in that it keeps it to a very small group. They kept our individual needs in mind throughout. The heated boat was really appreciated. The manatees did not disappoint and the area is simply beautiful! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the manatees and took notice of our interest in the fish and birds, making sure to identify and share what she knows. The captain and tour guide have wonderful personalities and leadership that made this a relaxing and fun experience. The pictures will forever be a treasured reminder of this experience!

Fun trip love the manatees!! - We had a great time on our manatee snorkel tour. Leah was a great tour guide and the heated boat and warm drinks were appreciated. Leah had a lot of patience with the 80 year old lady on our tour. The captain was really nice and had interesting stories! Leah took some great pics! Wonderful fun!

Awesome experience!! - Highly recommend!! - Our group of four went out with Sean and Mike on a Sunday morning and had THE BEST TIME!!! These guys know what they are doing! They had everything we needed and more... The wetsuit and snorkel gear is included with the advertised price. We went with the option that included the pictures with it and they turned out really great! I liked that I didnt have to think about trying to take pics myself and could just enjoy the experience. We went to a couple of different places and found a good many manatees. We saw mommas with babies too - it was precious. They told us all about the manatees and the Crystal River area. If you have ever wanted to swim with the manatees go with this company they are GREAT!!! When we were done and a tad chilly from the water they closed the enclosure on the boat and provided us with hot tea/coffee/cocoa which was perfect and warmed us right up. I give five stars and two thumbs up!!
( They also have a cute little gift shop with sooooo many manatee items to choose from and at reasonable prices too!! )

Best Manatee adventure ever! Best tour company ! - The BEST tour ever. There are so many companies out there, which one should you go on? No doubt CRYSTAL RIVER MANATEE ADVENTURE! This is a smaller company, awesome guides, clean facilities, boats and equipment. The maximum guests is 6 per boat, this is important on a busy day. The guide strives to make sure you are having FUN and seeing manatee and other interests. This company provides everything, wetsuits, mask, snorkel, towels, water noodles to assist you in floating and delicious hot chocolate on your way back ( also coffee and water). They have heated boats for those cold days. We had so much fun we will definitely be back. We had Todd and Leah great team, great company, awesome adventure and wonderful memories with photos to remember our day.
**Please help support a local mother of a special needs child by buying one of her hand made manatees available in the gift shop.
I rate this company #1. My son was nervous about doing this as it’s a new adventure, he had the best time and was so excited when he saw tarpon and manatees.

Manatee swim with photos - The crew was amazing! They took great compassion with my daughter who had anxiety about being in the water with such big animals. They made sure she safely made it back to boat and helped calmed her down and make the best of the situation back at the boat showing her the animals from afar and giving her something to drink and fun facts.
