It was great. They only take small groups six or less. I’ve been on both tours in the last week and this one is by far the best. The guides were great and so was the captain. There was just six of us so it was very nice and got to stay close with the guide full of information about the manatees. Brand new wetsuits and nice heavy coats to put on after you get out of the water, serv hot chocolate, and coffee to warm up after swimming with the amenities.

Enjoy a close, personal encounter with the West Indian Manatee as you snorkel with them under the guidance of a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captain. Our small group (no more than six guests) tours are conducted daily in the beautiful Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge. Get up close and personal with these amazing mammals and learn about the ecosystem and their habitat.  Unlike many tours, these Captains will actually swim with you and your group to ensure that you have a memorable experience. While in the water, your captain/tour guide will take high-definition photos and videos of you and your group which you will be able to view and purchase at the end of your trip.  Your price includes all snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel, wetsuit) and complimentary coffee or hot cocoa.

Sarah was amazing! Highly recommend going on a day she is guiding. She made sure to get multiple photos of everyone and even made us a great mocha ☕️ for the ride back! 😊

This was incredible!!! We had the most amazing encounters with Manatee's. Best Day ever & the hot chocolate to warm us up back on boat was a great bonus.
