I can’t begin to express how much fun we had with our Captain Jim and Dakota. They took us out in the boat and found us some without a any other divers around. It was incredible. A mother and about a 6 month old pup with her. Mom was eating and baby wanted to play with us. It’s circled us and cane up to our faces and swan all around. It was so incredible. We will definitely be back to go again. I’m so glad I picked your company to take us out for our swim of a lifetime.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a fantastic review for us! We are delighted that you had such a good time on your tour, and that you enjoyed your time with Jim and Dakota, and of course the manatees. This year we have had a large number of manatees and their calves in Kings Bay, and they are such fun to watch and swim near. When guests are quiet and still in the water, often the calves will feel safe enough to want to check them out- and we are so happy this happened during your tour. All manatees are cute, but the little ones are just adorable. We hope to see you soon- and thank you so much for choosing Crystal River Watersports for your tour. Sandi

Robert and Wendy were amazing guides on our first ever manatee tour. They were very personable and so helpful, they made the trip such a joy! I’ve been planning on doing a tour like this for three years and I’m so happy I finally got to it, and have these two to guide my friends and I through it. Crystal River Watersports Manatee Tour was the highlight of my year thus far! Thank you guys for being so wonderful! Thank you again to Sandy as well for being a wonderful host and welcoming us to this place.

Hi Mary, Thank you so much! We were delighted to have you visit, and are so glad that you and your friends enjoyed the tour. The manatees have been especially accommodating this spring, and we are seeing more than normal for the warm weather. The higher temps also increases your chances of seeing some gators on the eco-tour portion of the tour, as well as some other animals. Robert and Wendy are so much fun, aren't they? I will pass along your kind words, and I know they will greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for the wonderful review, and for choosing Crystal River Watersports for your manatee tour- it is greatly appreciated. Sandi

Swimming with the Manatees has been a dream of mine for years! The team at Crystal River Watersports went above and beyond to make sure that we had the most amazing experience. I can't wait to go back and do it again!

Thank you so very much for the wonderful review. We are so happy that you enjoyed your tour- and that you were able to cross this off the bucket list. However, swimming with these amazing animals never gets old, so we will be waiting until you decide to do it again. We appreciate you choosing Crystal River Watersports for your tour, and for you taking the time to write a review. Having honest testimonials from real guests is our best form of advertising, so we value it immensely. Thanks, Sandi
