Fun, exciting, learning experience, but congested with other boats. Should put smaller limits of amount of people observing the Manatees
Mary_W
The water was really murky so we had a hard time seeing anything. Even in a clear boat we couldn’t see manatees directly under us. It was really crowded with tour boats, swimmers & other kayak groups everywhere. Swimmers were really a major hazard. Near the end of our tour we encountered pod of 8 manatees. We had a difficult time seeing them unless they stuck their snouts up. Also extra fees for parking & launching weren’t included or mentioned in booking thru Viator.

We took a clear kayak tour to crystal river . It was nice and saw manatees. It was a little disappointing the water was murky and hard sometimes to see the manatees. Also was very crowded with other kayaks and boats.

This was a terrible experience. It was extremely windy and choppy. It looked nothing like the calm, turquoise waters in the photos. We were only out in the dark colored, choppy water for about 10 min, almost tipped over, so we turned around and went back. We when explained it was too rough and requested a refund, the answer was No. Terrible experience. Do not recommend at all.
