I am so glad I chose River Ventures for a guided manatee tour in Crystal River. My kids said this was the best day of our trip to FL, and they will never forget this experience!
From the moment I first called RV to book our excursion, every person I came in contact with was so helpful & professional... receptionists, educational class before the tour, shuttle driver, and of course our guides! I chose a private pontoon tour which was guided by Troy & Heidi. Both of them truly made the whole experience top notch! From the moment we boarded the pontoon, their enthusiasm, knowledge & passion for what they do made it so much fun! We learned so much about these gentle creatures. Heidi was our in-water guide and she took tons of photos & videos for us... and what sealed the deal for me was that we could purchase a usb or download of every pic / video for one price under $40. When searching TA, I did not see any other tours that offered this kind of deal on taking our experience home with us!
It’s been a week since we took this tour, and we cannot stop talking about how much we enjoyed swimming with the manatees... it truly was the best day ever!! Thank you Heidi, Troy & River Ventures! We will definitely be back again someday :)
