Chrystal River manatee watch clear kayak - Our guide was so helpful and knowledgeable, it was very apparent that this company is passionate about the manatees and their wellbeing. We saw several manatees including a mother and baby calf, we also saw a alligator. We came across a recently injured manatee who had fresh wounds and was struggling. Our guide alerted a rescue team and they sent a group of biologists to come and assess and treat her injuries. Our guide with our 100 percent support had us stay with the injured manatee until help could arrive. This is more than a tour company, they are intriguing in the well being of these amazing creatures..

Clear kayaking with manatees - Delaney was an amazing tour guide. She is knowledgeable and she brought great energy at 8:30am. We saw so many manatees in March 2025. I would recommend the agency and Delaney again and again. The springs were beautiful and clear. The morning 830 am slot is early, but so worth the smaller crowds.

Fun paddle - Sam took us all around the bay and inlets in our clear kayaks. We were able to see a few Manatees and she took great photos along the way. We are 60 something’s and the paddle want too tenuous! Great time!

Kasey and Kyle were... - Kasey and Kyle were awesome! Both very knowledgeable. It was cloudy the day we went so the clear kayaks didn’t make much of a difference for viewing. We had a great time!

Crystal river review - We saw manatees and our guide, Kyle, was great. But from the pictures, I thought we would be kayaking down a nice quiet spring with great views and wildlife. We were amongst boats and in random backyards of all the folks that live on the crystal river.

No photo package included - There is NO photo package included as advertised. Only 5- 10% of the tour was in clear water. If you want to see manatees there is a way to walk next to the springs.
