This is one of the best companies for Crystal River Manatee snorkel tours. Very family friendly. We love our videos and pictures (optional to buy at the end). We used them about 4 years ago and went back this year because they were amazing. A must use company

Took the early tour with Trish and Wade. They were awesome...so knowledgable, patient and encouraging. We were able to see lots of manatees up close. Great experience and more than worth the cost. The office staff was very friendly and helpful also. Thank you!!

What a great experience for our family! Captain Wade and Trish were excellent guides. Their expertise and knowledge allowed us to swim with several different groups of manatees in mid-July. They were very helpful and patient, especially with our 3 kids that had never snorkeled (ages 15, 13, and 6). The rapport with the other boat captains was nice to see. I highly recommend River Ventures!
