What To Expect

Crystal River

Upon arrival at the dive shop, guests will be fitted for wetsuits and asked to watch a brief video from US Fish and Wildlife outlining their encounter with the manatees. The captain and guide will then take the group to the boat and embark all passengers and give a short safety brief. Once underway, the guide will further explain how to interact with the manatees once in the water and fit the guests with their masks and snorkels. While transiting to the swim areas, the captain and guide will present information about the area wildlife and what guests can expect to see during your tour. They will also answer questions and take pictures along the way. The guide will stay with the group the entire time, ensuring that the guests get the most out of their experience, all while taking photos and videos of your adventure!

I booked a literal last minute tour! No one else had a spot but I’m glad because Lauren and Leah were amazing! I was by myself (hubby didn’t want to do it) and this was a bucket list item for me. They made sure we found great spots to see the manatees and we were lucky to find a mamma and baby. Baby was so playful and curious! I can not recommend this company enough!! The hot chocolate at the end hit the spot! If manatee sightings are what you want do not hesitate to book here! Also I’m a plus size person and had no issues w finding a wet suit or getting on and off this boat! Just do it!!!

It was a wonderful experience. My family greatly enjoyed it - a life time experience! The staff is wonderful and most accommodating to make it work with our schedule. When the weather wasn't perfect, there was no trouble to reschedule. Lauren is very knowledgeable and shared her wisdom freely with us. She loves her job and it shows. Her photographer is equally as caring and enthusiastic and makes sure you have a wonderful time. She took some fantastic photos and the are all yours for a reasonable price. They make a great team and you learn a lot! I can only recommend them highly.

Awesome! Rick and Mike were wonderful to help us have a great experience with the manatees even “towing” grandma. This tour should be on everyone’s bucket list! Small group ( our 4 plus 2 others) was perfect!
