Guide and captain were very friendly and also very knowledgeable. Fair to the manatees and fair to the tourists was their motto. If you want to see manatees and also want to protect them … this is your tour!

Fantastic time. It was only my wife, me and Hailey, the tour guide and the boat captain. Hailey got us to the spring and we saw lots of manatee. Hailey took a lot of photos of us with them. We are looking forward to doing this again!

Thank you for choosing Crystal River Watersports for your tour, and for the lovely review. We are so happy that you enjoyed your tour, and your snorkel with the manatees. You came at the perfect time- and were so calm in the water that the manatees felt really comfortable with you. We appreciate you sending the pictures of Hailey and the note to our office staff, it was very kind. Thank you again- and we hope to see you the next time you are in Florida.

My friends and I chose this tour company after researching companies that emphasize passive observation and good eco practices. Everyone working at the tour company was lovely and friendly. Robert and Hayley were our captain and guide team and they were super knowledgeable and answered all of our many questions about the manatees. They both obviously really enjoy what they do and care about the local environment and the well-bring of these amazing lovable animals. Hayley took tons of photos and video, which we were then able to purchase on a (manatee-shaped!) USB drive for $30. Overall, we had a great time and I would highly recommend this tour company.

Thank you so much for the exceptional review, and for choosing Crystal River Watersports for your tour. All of our staff (Captains, guides, and office staff) attend multiple classes and training sessions each year to learn about manatees, our local eco-system and the history of the area. It helps us to be better stewards of the local areas flora and fauna, and also hopefully provides a tour that is informative as well as enjoyable. We really appreciate the fact that you recognized this and commented on it. We will make sure to forward your words of praise to both Robert and Hailey. Thank you again, we are delighted that you had a great tour while in Crystal River.
