Unforgettable!!! - Captain sandy and our tour guide Dakota were absolutely fantastic! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming! Felt like friends I haven’t seen in a long time! I came up from Punta Gorda for the day and every second in the 6 hour trip was worth this experience with my mom. This is something I will cherish forever! I highly suggest using these guys! I’ll be back for more adventures!

Well worth time, money as the memory will last forever. :) - Absolutely loved and enjoyed our combination Manatee snorkel and Rainbow River scuba dive. Both the Manatee boat driver and exploration for snorkeling guide were Amazing and Knowledgeable. They took us to the clearest waters where we could get the best experience. Our Scuba guide...was more than patient and made our trip all that we wanted it to be. Clearest river dive and absolutely Beautiful!!

Scuba - Great scuba trip down the Rainbow River with Bill! Bill was knowledgable about the river and the fun sites to see. He was punctual and patient with my scuba questions.

Very relaxing dive! - Had a great time with Vince. excellent dive master. Very relaxing and saw some cool fish and turtles. Really enjoyed ourselves!

Swimming with the Manatees - Great experience for my family to swim with the manatees. Our guide Tyler was awesome, friendly, informative and loves his job. My girls will remember this experience for their whole life.

Manatee Swim and Rainbow River Snorkel/ Dive - My husband and woke up at 4:30 am And drove almost two hours from St Pete to spend the day with Crystal River Watersports. Not only was it incredibly worth it, but it was one of the best parts of our entire vacation! We started the morning off with a manatee swim with Captain Kevin and Guide Adrienne. To say they were amazing would have been an understatement. They were so personable and taught us so much about the beautiful creatures. I could tell that they really care about the environment and protecting the manatees. We only saw one manatee, but we probably swam with him for over an hour. We got to see him up close. It was amazing. After lunch, we returned to the shop and met up with Vince. We drove about a half hour to Rainbow River, where my husband did a drift dive with Vince and I snorkeled. Vince was so great and he was so patient with us! He showed us so many cool things. We saw a trifle, lots of car, and so many kinds of fish. The River was so clear and beautiful. I’m not the strongest swimmer, but it was actually super relaxing to just float on top and let the current carry me along. In November, the water was not very crowded with other divers, kayakers, or tubers. Anybody that is even slightly considering either of these two experiences should book. I would say it was a once in a lifetime experience all around, but we will definitely be back.

CR Waterspouts stupendous offerings and well-run business - High kudos to Crystal River Watersports Owner-Operator Mike Engiles, Tour Planner Susan, Divemaster and Guide Adrienne, and Boat Captain Robert. For two days our family of four participated in the Crystal River manatee boat tour and swimming with the manatees tour, scuba drift diving in the Rainbow River, and cavern diving in Williston at the Blue Grotto and Devil’s Den. This is a well-run, world-class business that help plan our Crystal River vacation, provided restaurant and other attraction information, and generally treated us like family. We look forward to returning to the area and again enjoining CR Watersports and the cadre of knowledgable and personable professionals.

Best trip EVER! - Leah & Cody guided us directly to the Manatees , taught us what to and not to do, and experience next level, never to be forgotten. Don’t miss out, bucket list baby!

We love manatees - Kevin was phenomenal. Evangeline was nice and all but she was more focused on the family that was there than me and my friend. I ended up having a hard time after about an hour and half. I kept trying to wave to her to get her attention. It took about 10-15 minutes before she noticed me waving at her. She seemed frustrated that I said I had to go to the boat. Then when all got back to the boat she kinda ignored me. I’m a talker and teacher. I know when someone is igniting or frustrated with me and my friend. The other older lad said she ignored her too.

Cool drift dive/snorkel! - We had two divers and two snorkelers on this trip, and we all had a great experience. Leah, who guided the snorkelers, did a wonderful job pointing out the spring features and the various wildlife along the way. We learned about different birds as well as marveling at the alligator gar and baby turtles! A cool drift dive and snorkel to start our trip!
