Last week we went out with Crystal River Manatee Adventures and had Captain Chris at the helm with Amanda as our in-water guide, and honestly I think the manatees liked them more than us. 😄
Chris was incredibly knowledgeable and somehow managed to drive the boat, crack jokes, AND give a full manatee biology lesson all at once — pretty sure he moonlights as a tour guide/comedian/historian.
Amanda was amazing in the water — super informative, patient, and clearly part-manatee herself. She knew exactly where to go and explained everything in a way that was both educational and hilarious. If the manatees could talk, I’m 100% convinced they’d also leave her a 5-star Yelp review.
They made the whole experience easy, fun, and unforgettable. If you're coming to Crystal River and don’t book with them, you’re missing out on the A-team of sea cow enthusiasts. 🐟🐋 (Yes, I know they’re not fish — Amanda taught me that. See? Educational!)
5 stars, would float with them again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing experience! Mer-Manda and Capt. Chris sought out the best possible opportunity to swim with the manatees even in choppy/murky water off-season got to swim with a mom and calf and the whole family from ages 10-70+ loved it. Then they took extra time to show us Three Sisters springs which were absolutely magical! Thank you!!

We spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon with Chris and Amanda swimming with the manatees. They were fun to be with, very professional, both had great expertise, solicitous of our needs and very kind and generous.
