Crystal River Watersports showed us a great time with the manatees. Captain Wayne was great! He was in the water with us & really helped my 8 yr. Old. We enjoyed the morning tour so much that we booked the afternoon tour as well. I would definitely recommend the early morning tour, as there were tonsil the morning & lots... More

I've snorkled in awesome places like Hawaii & The Bahamas, but this is beyond anything I've ever experienced. It was spectacular. From the helpfulness of Ken & Julie to the informative guides, this is an A+ company. I went on the 7:30 am manatee tour with Shay & enjoyed it so much, a week later, I went back for an... More

Great tour. It was cool swimming with manatees. Tour company very friendly and professional. Something I will never forget. I will be back! More

I read the reviews and thought this company would be good to go with. The convience of the website and reserving is very nice but I called anyways. Because we were traveling with a 12 month old I called to make a reservation I was told that we would have to pay $35 for the baby. I understand if it... More

We got lucky and there was only 4 people on the boat , my wife swam alone with 4 manatees splashing and nudging her in the water , the captain was great and took us to all the right spots on the river , my actually had more fun than the $200 swim with the dolphin trip in the Bahamas... More

My experience with this activity/company run about the same as most of the others posted. I can well agree about how the mix of passengers can affect the experience; a few excitable kiddies can put a real dent in things. Went in early May. Water was still quite cool (by people standards) but wet suits made it very pleasant. Water... More

First off, when I called to make a reservation they told me they had just booked a large group, but could fit us it. I knew their 27 passenger boat would be packed. BUT, they split our group into two different boats, so we had 12 people on our boat. That showed me that they really cared about our experience.... More

For $35 per person, you really can't be the price, and i did end up having a good experience once i was there. I am not one to complain, and I work in customer service, so i generally understand almost all circumstances that would make most people upset and when they happen to me, i usually let it go. This...

It is such an incredible experience to visit the manatee's here at crystal river! The tour was amazing and well worth the money! The tour guide on our boat was very knowledgeable and helpful. It was so unreal when you actually see the manatee. They did a great job of showing us how to safely and passively interact with the... More
