WOW! What an amazing experience! Our guides Shanna & JJ were warm and funny and patient and knowledgeable... and they gave us a day full of memories and adventure! We saw several manatees including a momma and calf. This was a bucket-list experience for me and River Ventures delivered the "awesome"! Do yourself a favor and book this outing... Highly recommend x1000!

My husband and I had amazing tour guides - Marissa & Captain Kelly!! We had so much fun adventuring through the Crystal River & various springs while also being able to snorkel with Manatees for the very first time! We can’t wait to come back to swim with Manatees! Thank you so much River Ventures!

Our guide Heena and captain JJ made sure we had an amazing time and were filled with knowledge. They went out of their way to be sure it was everything we hoped for and then some. We highly recommend and will definitely be back!!!
