This was a very fun, but very chilly adventure with Cpt. Sandy and Dakota. We saw several manatees and learned a lot about them. We also saw a lot of birds and Sandy was pretty helpful in this. I would recommend this tour.

Be aware! The tour company never mentioned low visibility conditions. As a customer, we didn't worry about visibility when the business name is Crystal River Watersports, their website photos show pristine blue waters, and there had not been any rain or hurricanes that would have created low visibility. We are scuba divers (I also worked with a business taking customers out diving in the Gulf), and we understand that no one controls nature, still, any honest business has the responsibility to let customers know when visibility conditions are less than ideal. Long story short, staff was great! Manatee viewing was terrible. We had a maximum of 3 feet of cloudy visibility. The staff had to tell us when the manatee was swimming close by, otherwise we would miss it. We paid our bill and tipped $20 each crew member. We learned our lesson and will check visibility and recommend everyone else to do the same.

I’d welcome the opportunity to talk with you on when you went etc. [email protected] Conditions have been varying significantly even from one trip to the next on the same day. The manatees take advantage of warmer weather and sometimes move to areas where there is more food source but it is reduced visibility.

Will not forget this day, one of the best moments in my life. I was very nervous but Leah looked after me so well. Manatees are big gentle cheeky animals. Definitely one crossed off my bucket list. Would I recommend it? You bet ya I would!
