Oh My Goodness, never thought we would really get that close to a manatee. Wow!!!! What an experience and thrill. I think it was better to have only swam with a younger manatee for our first experience. He was big enough, lol. Our guide and photographer who swam with us was amazing. Alyssa was so knowledgeable and understanding of our trepidation. She let us take it nice and slow. The pictures she took made our trip so memorable. Captain Jim was very courteous and professional. Boy was he knowledgeable and made certain we knew as much as we needed before our dive. He too was aware of my nervousness and guided me as I swam towards Alyssa who found the young manatee first. Cannot say enough about how WONDERFUL our experience was especially due to Captain Jim and Alyssa. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!!! Seriously will come back in the winter as we discussed and hope to swim with a mommy and baby next time. LOL

Our family really enjoyed our time swimming with the Manatees. Jim and Heather were excellent guides making the activity both informative and fun. It was so easy with everything provided - we simply needed to turn up! Definitely an activity we would repeat.

Love the family run and owned business of Crystal River Watersports. Dakota (guide) and Stefanie (boat captain) were super friendly, safe, knowledgeable and amazing hosts. We swam with a large male and a mama & baby manatee along with seeing multiple species of fish, a stingray, birds and an alligator. Words cannot explain the experience. Pictures were worth the purchase; highly recommend. We will be swimming with manatees again and bringing other family members.
