Set out on a very foggy morning, but Captain Jim knows these waters like the back of his hand! As the morning progressed the fog lifted and Water guide, Dakota, and I got to swim with a juvenile manatee for almost an hour. He came up to us, rolled on his back and checked us out. It was the most awesome experience ever.
Thanks to Captain Jim for getting us out and back safely and Dakota, for helping me in the water and taking great photos.
This company is very ecologically minded. They are also very professional, friendly and helpful.

Pat, thank you so much for the awesome review!
Our staff tries very hard to make sure that our guests have a great time, while also protecting the amazing manatees that live here. Jim is great at knowing where the manatees hang out- and his knowledge of birds and other critters is phenomenal.
When our guests observe passive observation the way that you did, it allows the manatees to decide what they want to do. It really does make for the best experience as the manatees are more likely to want to stay and interact when our guests simply float and let the manatee "do their thing." I am so happy that you found a curious juvenile and that it apparently really enjoyed your company.
We appreciate you choosing Crystal River Watersports for your tour- and for the review. Thank you.
