We had the absolute time of our lives with caption Tod and our guide Jay! They were so knowledgeable and so funny I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!
Captain Chris and Amanda were wonderful to work with. We had a range of ages with us and the trip was appropriate and fun for everyone. The staff were friendly, informative, and went the extra mile to make sure we had a great visit.
Capt Hoppy and the crew were phenomenal! We had an amazing time and can’t wait to come back for the scalloping trip!!
Thank you for your review. We look forward to seeing you on your next adventure with us
Incredible experience! The guides were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and surrounding areas, relaxed and very funny! We stopped for all wildlife including dolphins, turtles and tarpon! Over all an a great day out! Highly recommend! Thank you Giggles, captain Todd and the team!
Thank you for your review. Sounds like you had an amazing wild life experience. We love to hear that. Hope you will come join us again.
Crystal River Manatee Aventures, Captain Chris, and Giggles were fantastic and fun! They have a deep knowledge of the bay, springs, manatees. We saw a mom, baby and solo female, along with a playful group of dolphins! The boat was comfortable and we appreciated the small group size of 6 people maximum. This makes all the difference! I would highly recommend booking with this company!
Thank you so much for your review. Yes are boats are only 6 pack boats . We do not want anyone to feel over whelmed with an over load of people. We want you to have the best experience that we could possibly offer. We hope you will come see us again.
Incredible experience & great hosts! Highly recommend
Thank you for your review.
Fabulous way to ditch the crowds and get a truly personalized Florida aquatic experience. Our guide Crystal Lynn along with Captain Chris were phenomenal! They knew exactly which spots to visit and where to get us a glimpse and dip near the Manatees. Bonus sightings included Fish, Eagles, Ospreys, Dolphins, and an Alligator. We couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more!
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you got to see all the wildlife that our lovely bay has to offer. We hope you will come see us again.
The overall experience did not wow us. We had a top notch guide and skipper but a few elements fell short of our expectations. First, there are very few Manatees left in the touring waters and second and most disappointing was the second class positioning assigned to the semi-private tour. The private tour offered by this company clearly had a priority status from the first on the water to their choice of Manatee viewing.
Hello thank you for your review. Unfortunately we can not control how many manatees are going to be in the bay. They are wild animals so we have no control over that or the water ways. We try our best to get all our guest in the best place possible with out putting anyone in a bad place or the animal. I hope that you will try to come again when the season is in and have a great time.
What a great little operation...they take care of every need; so personal, knowledgeable, and friendly. We didn't exactly know what to expect but were so pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. After check-in, you watch a short video have a little talk on safety/rules, get suited up and shuttled to the boat. We were towards the end of the season but were lucky enough to quickly spot a manatee. After spending some time with the manatee we cruised over to a clearer spring and enjoyed the water some more; better able to spot other fish in there. The crew was so knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly and love their job. The facility has a couple of places to privately shower off afterwards, which is great if you aren't staying in the area.
Thank you for your review. We try our best to make sure we have all you need. We understand things to be forgotten when trying to plan trips. So we do our best to make sure we provide everything you will need with no worries. We want all our guest to enjoy and relax from start to finish. We hope you will come see us again.
Mermaid Amanda and Captain Colt were really flexible with our family of mixed ages from 4 to 76 years old. They made sure all of us felt comfortable and had the opportunity to view the manatees in a manner that was safe first and foremost for the manatees and of course for us as well. It was very clear to me that Amanda loves these animals and wanted to share the love and appreciation with us. I would highly recommend this tour company to another family!
Thank you for your kind review.
