What an absolutely phenomenal experience. My wife and kids had the greatest time and are still talking about it. Captains Don and Kristie were outstanding and made our excursion. I'm not sure what they get paid but whatever it is it isn't enough. After today's trip I can tell…

We recently got home from our Manatee swim. We had an amazing time. I've had a love of Manatees for many years, but I've never had the experience of swimming with them. I decided to book the trip for myself, my husband, & 3 kids (8,9,12). After arriving at the shop, you…

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, and for choosing Crystal River Watersports for your tour. Manatees are so amazing and it is always a great experience to share with family. The Nature Coast has so many beautiful sights, and nothing in the world is like a manatee. We are so happy that you enjoyed the time spent with Captain Jim, Dakota and the manatees- they are both great at their jobs. Thank you again for going out with us, and for taking the time to write a review, we really appreciate it.

Hi Jenny, Thank you so much for the fantastic review, and for choosing Crystal River Watersports for your tour. We really appreciate it. Our staff love what they do, and it is our goal to have each guest have the best experience possible. Our guides and captains train hard to learn about manatees, the environment and the Nature Coast. The wet suits we provide, and the snorkel vests help make you buoyant and keep you warm. Plus our guides are there for your safety (and comfort in the water) as well as for your protection and that of the manatees. Crystal River is a terrific little town, and there is so much to do and see. We are always happy to share the joy and tips on our favorite restaurants, and places to enjoy! We hope to see you again! Thank you again for taking a tour with us and for writing a review.

Even in summer Vince and Wendy found us a mommy and baby manatee. Wendy even carried my 6 year old baby on her back so she could see better. Amazing experience from beginning to end!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. The manatees are totally amazing, aren't they? This time of year we mostly see the manatee Mom's and calves, with the occasional lone adolescent. The manatees who live in Kings Bay year round really enjoy the sea grass that is growing in the Bay. Vince and Wendy are great, and are there to make sure all of our guests and the manatees are safe, as well as hopefully being entertaining and sharing their knowledge about manatees, the region, and the history of Crystal River. As long as people are comfortable in the water, they generally have a great experience! For those who aren't, guests can also see the manatees from the boat, although it obviously won't be as "up close and personal". Thank you again for the review and for choosing Crystal River Watersports for your tour.
