    It was an amazing experience to swim with the manatees. My granddaughter had a blast so up close and personal I would do it again thank you so much.

    Bucket List Trip

    Cindi_S, Feb 2026
    What a great experience. Captain Alan and Joanna, the “first mate, boat handler, photographer, etc” were fantastic. They were able to find manatees and give us a bucket-list experience. There were 5 of us in the group celebrating our mother’s 90th birthday. She had the time of her life. The quality of their wetsuits were first class along with their masks and snorkels. With all of us being scuba divers, we usually bring our own, but decided to take a chance and left our mask and snorkels at home. Glad we did. The day we went out was chilly. We appreciated the hot tea and cocoa when we got out. We loved the heater too! Alan was kind enough to help us into the boat if we needed it and also help us out of our wetsuits if needed. These people made the trip fun. I would highly recommend them.

    Thanks for the kind words. It was our pleasure to help fulfill your bucket list experience. It was a pleasure having you all aboard . Thanks for letting us be part of MOMS 90th birthday celebration

    Best ever afternoon with my sons.

    Fabulous attention to detail. They worked hard at making everyone on the trip satisfied. They went above and beyond with my special needs adult son, making sure that we all had the best time!

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    It was a pleasure having you aboard . Your son is a very impressive young man. Honestly, he was the best guest of the day. He observed the Manatee Manners perfectly. We are so grateful to be able to give him this experience.

    Best tour to swim with Manatees in Crystal River

    Yael_B, Dec 2024
    Amazing experience to swim with manatees. Highly recommend. There are quite a few operators running the same tour. But I'm so glad we picked this one. We left earlier. That gave us almost 40 minutes in the water all alone with the manatees. Once it got busy, other groups stir up the bottom and reduce visibility. Also, 6 people is really much better than a bigger group. Al (the captain) and Crystal (the guide) are top notch professionals and know the best spots. Also, no extra fee for photos, that's nice!
