You’ll have a good time! - Bri and Steve were the best manatee your guides ever! Highly recommend when you’re in the area to take a swim with them and try to book with Bri and Steve if you can.

Fantastic boat trip - The boat trip we had with Captain Glen was fantastic from start to finish. The knowledge he has about the wildlife and surrounding environment is superb, as well as the stories and experiences he has had! A fantastic captain that really makes the trip that much more enjoyable. We had the chance to see parent and child manatee, alligators and even dolphins schooling fish! Would 100% recommend this trip if in the area

Snorkeling with manatees! - Great experience to swim with the manatees. They are such nice friendly animals April is off season to see manatees, but we were lucky. The captain and guide told fun facts and helped to get a good look at the animals from the boat or in the water.

Great trip, throughly enjoyed - 2pm tour with jake and glenn. We were fortunate to be on our own and the trip was like a private tour. Both jake and glenn were easy to talk to and were able to show us and swim with a number of manatee despite being May and not the best weather conditions.

Sunset cruise - Glen Wiley was the most knowledgeable guide you could wish for. We went on a sunset cruise and apart from enjoying a lovely evening on the water we learnt a lot from wildlife facts to local knowledge of the bay, the history and the people. Excellent

Charming and informative - I'm still totally thrilled. Our guide and our captain had a good feeling about where the manatees are grazing. They exuded so much love for the Manatees and had the necessary respect. It's a great feeling when you can swim together with the manetees. These animals are so impressive and cute. This adventure really should not be missed. Thanks to Dani and Glenn for the great photos, for all the information - insanely great job! I am still totally thrilled.

Snorkeling with Manatees - We had a really great time with Dani, our guide, and Glenn, our Captain. We booked snorkeling with Manatees on the morning tour. They both shared a lot of knowledge about Manatees and their habitat. They had an answer to every question we had. Funny stories also came up and we had really good conversations. The provider, their Captains and guides are very aware of nature and respecting it, especially the animals and their habitat. Hot drinks and snacks were also provided on the boat. We learned a lot about Manatees and it was a breathtaking experience to swim with those friendly mamals. I will definitely do it again, when I come back again to Crystal River! Thank you very much for the really good time.
