Me and couple of friends drove from Fort Lauderdale to Clearwater just for this trip and let me tell you it did not disappoint one bit. We had Alex and Wendy as our captain and tour guide and they were AWESOME!! We LOVE Wendy! - she knew so much about the land and the manatees. She taught us all the facts to increase our knowledge and awareness on manatee conservation. I would recommend this place for manatee snorkeling over any of the other places because - they respect the manatee’s personal space and what’s best for the manatees well being. The staff is 10/10. And the location of the dock is a little ways away from the main bay area so you get a relaxing boat ride to and from the snorkel sight.

Thank you so much for taking time to write such an awesome review for us. We really appreciate you choosing Crystal River Watersports for your tour. Wendy and the rest of our staff love their jobs and we love them. All of our team are dedicated to keeping our guests and the manatees safe. We do training several times each year on safety, manatee health, safety and history as well as history of Kings Bay/Crystal River, conservation, birds, and other things our guests may find interesting. Many of our captains and guides also volunteer their time to help with manatee rescues, health assessments and releases of rehabbed manatees back into the Bay. Manatees are not just a job with us, but a passion as they are such amazing creatures. We are so delighted that you also enjoyed the Eco-tour portion of our tour! I love the fact that it is different every day as we never know what kind of birds, animals, etc that we will see. It is a great introduction to the Nature Coast and all of it's wonders. Thank you!

We were a group of 12 and had a wonderful afternoon swimming with the manatees. Our captains and guides were very willing to share their knowledge of the manatees and the area. Fun for all, ages 5 to 69.
