Dakota took my 5 year old by the hand and made him very comfortable in the water. we were close to manatees but respected them. Great job!

Thank you for choosing Crystal River Watersports for your tour, and for leaving us such a terrific review. Dakota is great, isn't he? I am proud to say that our captains and guides are some of the best in our business. They not only love the manatees and interacting with our guests, they also work really hard to help rescue animals, work with health assessments, assist our Fish and Wildlife Officials and keep up on safety and information updates. That all translate to a fun and educational tour. We really appreciate you leaving such a nice review! Thank you.

We were able to book at the last minute, and they were very accommodating, especially with other tour companies requiring at least a week's notice. We went at the very end of peak manatee season, so there weren't many out to see as it had gotten too warm. Capt. John and Dakota were relentless until they found 3 swimming around - I had one that was maybe a foot below me! Afterwards we were taken to clearer waters to snorkel in order to see fish. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for choosing us for your tour! It is always magical swimming with the manatees, even if we only see a few. There is something about looking into their wise eyes that is enchanting. We are delighted that you chose Crystal River Watersports for your tour and that you had a great time. We very much appreciate the wonderful review.
