The best guides und Sweet manatees - We had such a great time with Leah and Todd. The trip we booked was amazing and we saw a lot of manatees. Leah took wonderful pictures and videos all the time, so we had a lot of great souveniers to take home as well. Both guides were so much fun and we laughed a lot! We recommend this private tour to everyone who likes it a bit more personal and want so see manatees aside common areas.

Absolutely brilliant afternoon - We couldn’t have wished for a better tour, excellent, knowledgable and friendly captain and the best diver & photographer. We saw so many manatees and got brilliant photos - what an experience. Thanks Andy & Leah.

Family with kids Manatee experience - We couldn't be happier with the professionalism and care provided by our tour guides, Captain Todd and Elizabeth. They went above and beyond to enhance our experience, from selecting the perfect swimming spots to ensuring the safety and comfort of our 4-year-old. We were able to get up close to at least 6 different Manatees, and it was an unforgettable experience as they gracefully swam around us multiple times. The photography service offered is a must-try; it truly captures the love and passion the entire company has for these amazing creatures.

An Unforgettable Experience - The family and I had an amazing time. Leah and TJ were fantastic guides and took us right to the best site. They were extremely knowledgeable about the area and facilitated a stress free adventure. Thank you so much for the experience. You guys rock.

Best Manatee tour in Crystal River!!! - Way better than the cattle cars that the other tours provide. Captain Todd and 1st Mate Leah did a great job of giving us a memorable tour. Captain Todd managed the tour without any drama and even rescheduled due to poor weather. Leah was in the water with our party and took good care of a couple of hesitant swimmers. The manatees were challenging to find, but perseverance paid off and we were able to spend quality time with them without any stress. Thanks again!!!

Started as Strangers left feeling like family - Bucket list item checked off and we couldn’t have been happier with the choice we made!! Captain Todd and Leah were fun, experienced, patient and knowledgeable, not only of the area, but of the animals. All of the equipment was clean. The boat was clean. The heater was a nice option to have along with it being fully enclosed, and both Captain , Todd, and Leah were very hospitable. We cannot wait to do this again and you better believe this is the only company we will book with!! We started as strangers but felt like we left as family because that’s how they treated us!! PS GET THE PHOTOS!! Totally worth it!!

Book this tour! It’s amazing! - I highly recommend this private tour. We have used several companies and this is the best. The captain and guide are awesome. The shop was easy to find with plenty of parking. The gear was like new. The trip to the dock was short. The boat was heated with snacks! In the water we saw so many manatees! The guide was so knowledgeable and patient with the kids. We will be back!

Do yourself a favor and book this tour! - I highly recommend Crystal River Manatee Adventures. We have used other companies before and this one was the best by far. We loved the heated boat and private tour. We had 3 adults and 3 kids between 9-12 years with us and it went perfectly. The shop is easy to find with plenty of parking. The wetsuits and gear were like new. The drive to the dock was extremely short. Todd was a safe and entertaining captain and Leah was an amazing guide, giving us tons of tips and information and getting perfect photos. We saw SO many manatees. When we got back on the boat we had warm drink to heat us up. Do yourself a favor and book with Crystal River Manatee Adventures.

Beautiful day with the Manatee. - We had such a great swim with a capable captain and a talented photographer whose knowledge of these waters and survival of the manatee spoke of their respect for these beautiful mamals.

5🌟 - Very fun experience! The guides were very friendly/helpful which made this trip so much better. They explained everything very clearly and made sure they gave us anything we needed to feel comfortable. I would recommend this company to anyone.
