As always, River Ventures provides the best tours in Crystal River! Their guides and captains are top notch: friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Twice I've taken friends who had never snorkeled, much less seen a manatee. Both times these friends couldn't stop talking about what a great experience they had! Our most recent outing was no exception. Captain JJ and Guide Mel created an awesome trip. In addition, they have a wonderful gift shop and every employee in the place has always been friendly and accommodating. Thanks again, River Ventures!!!
