We took 3 of our young children (ages 9, 7 and 4). Our guide, Dakota, was so kind and made our children feel comfortable and confident in the water with the manatees. Our captain, Robert, was extremely knowledgeable and hilarious. We will definitely be back! It was a great experience for everyone!

Thank you so much for choosing us at Crystal River Watersports, and for writing such a wonderful review. We feel so lucky to have amazing people working with us, and Dakota and Robert are certainly great examples. Our staff are a great group of people who love manatees and who feel lucky to share that love and the delight of snorkeling with manatees with our guests. They are all very generous about sharing their love, knowledge and experience with each other and our guests. Our small groups mean that we can work with our guests to get them comfortable in the water, and to make sure that both our guests and the manatees are safe. Helping children fall in love with manatees, the environment (and water) means that the manatees will have strong defenders in the future who make sure that they are protected and appreciated for many years to come. We are so glad you chose us for your tour, and look forward to seeing you in the future! (Please feel free to request Dakota and Robert if you like and we will do our best to try and schedule them for your tour!)
