First off, captain greg is incredible. He is an awesome captain. He doesn't stress about time and makes the entire experience personalized! When I was in the water he was keeping an eye from the boat on where to look/what to see/what to avoid! I had such an incredible time that a friend is coming from Massachusetts to go with me again at the end of the month!

This was great! We had the best time and captain Greg was great. Our nine year old thinks he's the best! We never thought we would see so many manatees.

My mom, aunt and sister took me here for my 30th birthday since it's something I've always wanted to do. My mom booked a tour with Greg Hume of Manatee Adventures in Crystal River and Man, I just can not say enough good things about this guy. Not only was the tour private (consisting of only the four of us and the captain) but Captain Greg took the time to inform us about the area, drove us to the spots where he KNEW manatees would be abundant, and indulged us in taking our pictures. He even let us borrow his underwater camera FREE OF CHARGE then emailed us all of the pictures we took in under 24 hours. I'm reluctant to share his info because I don't want him to be booked up all the time, but that is not good travel karma... If you are looking to do a tour in crystal river, there really is no better tour to go with. All the big companies in Crystal River do big tours, so you'll be squished in with 50 other people and that looked like hell. Thank you Capt Greg for an experience I'll never forget.

Captain Greg went out of his way to make sure we had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend him if you want a one of a kind, relaxing manatee encounter.

Went out with Captin Greg the second week of November. Beautiful day a little cool. We saw some dolphins right after we set out. At Three Sisters Spring the water was warm and clear and there were about 15+ manatees (moms and babies!). It was a good time of year to go, not too crowded. Was grateful to go with a smaller company, the big tour boats had 8-10 people, with Greg it was just us three, left the dock @9am back on land @ 1pm. Fantastic adventure nothing like it!!!
