Went on the July 11 10:45 snorkeling cruise with Captains Misty and Memphis. Great trip with friendly and knowledgeable guides. They made our trip so much more enjoyable and Misty is amazing at spotting Manatees. We saw 5 or 6 today which included a couple of calves (very young Manatees). We highly recommend this as a definite fun thing to do when in Crystal River FL!
I thought I'd try something new that my wife and I would like and other than i being a little on the cool side, we both had a blast. With scenery on the boat trip to the manatees and nature and the clear water where the manatees were, we had great visibility. The guide, (Capt. Greg's assistant) gave the knowledge we needed if we didn't have it, about behaviour around the manatees and general knowledge of the area. Very Nice Time!
My wife and i got the chance to take a dip in the springs. This was my first time and I was amazed at how the water in the springs is actually much warmer than the water in the river. We had a several friendly encounters with manatees who uses the springs to keep warm. The trip as a whole was a huge successful memory. Thanks to the hospitality of the crew.
Spent four hours on a lovely boat with just the two of us plus the captain. We saw a pod of dolphins as we were leaving the dock, which was breathtaking. They were playing with us which was lovely. The scenery was breathtaking and I was so relaxed and happy to be there words can't describe. We saw so much wildlife; turtles, alligator, osprey and then we came to the manatees. We snorkelled with a mum and daughter which was magnificent. They were so peaceful but would also let you know when they'd had enough of hanging out with us. They were truly beautiful souls and creatures. There were a few other boats there too, but those boats had a lot more people on unlike ours. We didn't use wetsuits. I feel blessed to have experienced being with these peaceful souls.
We had the pleasure of being on tour with captain Greg in July 2016. We had a fanstatisk trip. Captain Greg contributed with great knowledge about manatees and the area.
Our Manatee tour was in July, when the Manatees were not as plentiful. But Captain Greg did an excellent job of trying multiple locations so our two children would get to see a Manatee up close. He was very friendly and took us to a great snorkeling location as well.
