Had such an amazing time - An awesome captain an awesome guide. I was a little cold but had an incredible time. Would definitely come back and do this again!

Unforgettable Manatee Encounter with Exceptional Guides - We recently embarked on a manatee tour, and it was nothing short of spectacular! Despite the challenges posed by murky water conditions, our adept tour guides swiftly located the manatees and expertly navigated us to the perfect viewing spots. Their ability to spot these gentle giants so quickly was impressive and ensured that we didn't miss out on any sightings. The highlight of our adventure was seeing a wide variety of manatees, including an adorable mother and her baby. The guides provided fascinating insights into the manatees' behaviors and habitats, enriching our experience with their deep knowledge and genuine passion for marine wildlife. What stood out most was the guides' compassion and respect for the manatees, emphasizing the importance of observing these beautiful creatures without disturbing their natural environment. This respectful approach not only made us feel like responsible tourists but also deepened our appreciation for wildlife conservation. I highly recommend this tour for anyone eager to witness manatees up close in their natural habitat. The combination of skilled guides, remarkable sightings, and educational enrichment makes this experience truly memorable. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to connect with nature and learn about the fascinating world of manatees!

Manatees Galore! - Did a quick google search and found Go Local. Wasn’t sure what to expect but boy did I hit the jackpot for this trip! The staff of Walter and Lindsey were friendly, knowledgeable and took us, within a short 5-10 boat ride, to our first encounter with the manatees. Given it’s not truly manatee season, wasn’t sure what to expect. We saw one, then two then countless manatees on this trip. Their ability to locate these animals in the off season was second-to-none! So much so, the other tour boats were following us as Walter and Lindsey kept us swimming with these amazing animals for 2 1/2 straight!!! If you’re going to want to actually see, and swim with these creatures, I wouldn’t book any other guides - GoLocal Manatee Tours is simply amazing! Book them today!

Great time! - So much fun! We had Lauren & Peter & they were amazing. Very knowledgeable about the local culture & had all kinds of fun facts. We saw SO many manatees and were up close and personal with them. It was truly amazing. They had plenty of recommendations of where to eat after.

Go Local Tours are the best! - We had the best time on our tour! The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and so kind throughout the entire experience. The owner was just as wonderful. We have found a new found respect for Manatees and just adore those sea cows. Highly recommend!

Thoroughly Enjoyed Our Trip - We had a great time ! We enjoyed our trip and the hosts of our tour. We came to Crystal River from Orlando which was nearly a 2 hour drive. The I4 was packed with traffic and we were upward of 30 minutes late for our trip. They were extremely nice and flexible and we truly appreciated the courtesy extended to us for our travel. We had amazing weather and made the sun over the river and the experience that much more beautiful. Thank you guys and continued blessings over your business.

BUCKET LIST ✔️ - Had an absolutely amazing time with this group! Attention to detail, knowledgeable, and every effort to make the experience enjoyable. Will definitely recommend to friends and family that visit the area!!
