The morning tour was a fantastic and unforgettable experience. The staff was welcoming as soon as we arrived and I felt a great sense of comfort during my time there. Robert and Don were funny, knowledgeable, and overall wonderful guides. Don took stunning photos during my tour that were well worth the price. Initially, in the water, I was nervous, but Don greatly helped to soothe me and allow me fully enjoy my experience. The manatees came up and interacted with me and I never felt that I wasn't getting my money's worth. We spent the perfect amount of time out in the springs, and Robert, Don, and the rest of the staff were amazing the entire time. I would recommend Crystal River Watersports to everyone, and would definitely go back.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, we really appreciate the fact that you chose Crystal River Watersports for your tour, and that you took the time to write a review. Our staff love what they do, and work hard to make sure that they are knowledgeable, and professional. Our shop is a member of the Manatee Eco-Tour Association, and all of our staff attend their yearly training sessions, as well as in shop training. Many of them volunteer to do Manatee Health Assessments, and Manatee Rescues when necessary, as well as working with volunteer associations that work to clean up the Bay and River. I think this translates into a better experience for our guests. I will make sure that both Robert and Don know you enjoyed the trip- and if you are on Facebook, keep an eye out for Don's amazing mermaid photos! Thank you again- we are delighted that you had a great time.

Captain Sebastian and Dakota were great tour guides for us. The boat ride to/from the bay was scenic and of course getting to swim with manatees was the best. We had a non-confident swimmer in our group and the guys were very patient and helpful. I think we would all sign up to go again if travel schedules permitted.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your tour, and that the manatees were welcoming. Having the eco-tour portion of the trip is what sets us apart from the other tour companies in the area, as well as our first class staff. We made sure to pass along your kind words to Dakota and Sebastian. We appreciate you choosing Crystal River Watersports for your tour, and for taking the time to write a review.

We had a great time swimming with the giant puppies of the sea! Dakota and Sebastian were wonderful. We highly recommend this tour. Another bonus...swimming in fresh water and seeing how some Floridians live.
