Our personal educational interactive guide was JJ, "Jeremiah Johnson" who is an exprienced photographer as well as wealth of information on manatees and the area. Our family of 5, ages 15 to 50, have never been before and this trip was magical, JJ made sure. Our Captain was a native to Crystal River, Pete. He guied he boat beautifully an has eye for the cows and their movements, easily tracking them. They made a great team. After amazing manatee experience we headed to Hunter's Pjass Springs. We swam in clear, cold water and JJ got more great photo ops.
We recommend this excursion for anyone,young,old, autistic, deaf, or partially handicapped. Boat is always slow and water is calm.
