Manatee Snorkeling Adventure Tour with Lunch & Hotel Pickup

Amanda_C, Jul 2026

4th July Manatee Swim

We took the 4th July trip to Crystal River & Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park tour with Gray Line Orlando, and despite heavy rain and electrical storms from mid-morning, it turned out to be a fantastic day thanks to our guide, Adam. The swim itself was limited by lack of manatees at this time of year, and the need to get out the water with the lighting overhead, however Gina & Cpt Michael made sure we managed to get one great manatee sighting in during our experience. Rather than letting the weather ruin the trip, Adam went above and beyond to keep the group entertained. He organised a great lunch from Publix, took us on an impromptu local tour, stopped at Monkey Island for drinks and ice cream, and even used AI to share the history and stories of the area while we waited for the weather to improve. Once the storms passed, we were still able to visit the wildlife sanctuary. Throughout the day, Adam's enthusiasm, knowledge and genuine care for the group made all the difference. He kept everyone engaged, informed and connected from pick-up to drop-off. Adam is a real credit to Gray Line Orlando. We have another tour booked next week and are hoping he's our guide again. Highly recommended!

A great tour once we got the right address to connect w pickup

The tour guide Bob was well prepared and talk and info helpful. Bus driver was terrific. The negative was that the address to meet the bus and idescription that given was in the reserve was totally incorrect and more than 5 minutes from description. It was on a different street. I contacted the Viator site and they gave me correct info. But we easily could have missed the entire tour. Bob and P the driver 5 stars, app directions 0. Thank goodness someone responded to my message when nobody was showing up.

Phenomenal and worth every penny!

Absolutely fantastic trip. From the time we were picked up from hotel to the time of drop off it was a long day ( approx 11.5 hrs), however, was well worth it as NASA blew us away…. The Gray line tour operator certainly know how to recruit well because our guide, Bonni, was just fantastic. Kept us all entertained on the way with fun facts and made suggestions as to how best navigate the site to get the most out of our trip. She certainly looked after us and I wouldn’t hesitate to book Grayline again. I made inquiries prior to the trip to check on timings etc. and was promptly replied to but for us Bonni made it - we need more Bonni’s in the world please 🙌🙌🙌

Victoria_T, Mar 2026

Totally will use this group again . Great experience.

Easy pick up at a hotel . Communication about the event was clear and questions answered in a timely manor. The only thing I would recommend is that u ask guests to use headphone when listening to their devices or on a phone call while traveling in the van/bus. So We don’t have to listen to several different conversations and videos in addition to the radio.

Day Trip to Historic St. Augustine from Orlando with Hotel Pickup

Terry_K, Jan 2026

Could take longer than...

Could take longer than expected with hotel pickups and traffic. Took almost 2 hours to get there and almost 3 hours coming back. The driver, Ishmael, was a good driver and very personable. St Augustine is such a quaint town and we loved the Lightner Museum and walking through the shops on St George St and seeing the inside of St Augustine church.
