I can't say enough about our trip/adventure/experience. Very informative but also tons of fun and a moving experience truthfully. My 8 year old granddaughter, my son (her father) and my daughter went with me. Capt Mike and Jose were such great guides! They were so helpful and especially helpful with my granddaughter. I just can't say enough. We will definitely be back. If you go, do yourself a favor and ask for Captain Mike and Jose! This KY family loves them and Crystal River Manatee Tours!

We were guided by Crystal and John, a fantastic duo. They took us right to a group of manatees in the middle of the summer when they are harder to find. Both Crystal and John were attentive to our 9-year-old daughter - making sure she got to experience the manatees close up and encouraging her when she got a little nervous. We highly recommend trying to book a trip with them. We also recommend the early-morning excursion. The entire staff was personable. All of the equipment was clean and well maintained. The photos a video they took were excellent. This was a great experience.

This was one of the best family adventures we have ever had. Wade and Trish were awesome! The manatees let us into their world, and we were so grateful.
