We had a great time. Mermaid Amanda and Captain Keith were awesome. They taught us how to observe the manatees without interfering with them. Their Respect of the animals and knowledge of conservation efforts was really fantastic. We were so impressed with them. We had a lot of fun too!
The tour was amazing! Started on time and very professional. Tristen was a fantastic tour guide and Matt. The springs were very busy in a Saturday afternoon and there weren’t a ton of Manatees however we got lucky and were able to interact with 4-5. They took us out further into Kings bay and we dove and played around for a while. Our tour went a bit beyond the two hours and we loved every minute.
Absolutely wonderful day! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience! The captain and crew were very knowledgeable and could not have been more helpful! The manatees were of course the stars of the day but we never would have been able to see some many or have such close encounters without bothering these beautiful creatures! We would definitely recommend and are already planning to visit again!
The Mermaid Experience was truly magical. The backstory was engaging, and the children got a turn blowing the shell to call the mermaids. The looks of wonder on each face as the mermaids came into the cove was worth the entire trip. Everyone got into the water and splashed and played. I would recommend a wetsuit. I went without and it was chilly! The mermaid and merman were beautiful. They did tail flips and dives and patiently answered the endless questions. The kids fed them mermaid snacks and the time went by so quickly! Before we knew it, we were waving goodbye and enjoying the short trip back to the dock. This experience was the perfect ending to our summer break. It is an experience my kids will never forget.
We recently took a manatee tour with Captain Chad and Mady, and had an absolutely amazing time! They were both so knowledgeable about manatees and the Crystal River ecosystem, and they took great care to ensure that we had a safe and enjoyable experience. We saw a lot of manatees on our tour, and Captain Chad and Mady were able to point out some of their unique features and behaviors. They also told us some interesting facts about manatees, such as their diet and migration patterns. In addition to the manatee viewing, we also learned about the other plants and animals that live in the Crystal River. They were very patient with our questions, and they made sure that we understood everything. Overall, we had a wonderful time on our manatee tour with Captain Chad and Mady. They are both knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about manatees, and they made sure that we had a safe and educational experience. We highly recommend their tour to anyone who is interested in learning more about manatees or who wants to have a close encounter with these amazing creatures.
Spectacular experience! My group did the 8am manatee tour and our guide Mermaid Amanda and Captain were very knowledgeable and care about the wildlife. We saw lots of manatees even thought its tough to spot them in June. We were lucky enough to spot a baby and mama!!! I would highly recommend booking through them instead of the other agencies. They were very welcoming, explained everything in detail and went out of their way to ensure we had an amazing manatee “passive observing” experience! Highly recommend.
Hands down on of the best experiences of my life! The crew was awesome, helpful, and informative. The guides get in the water with you to help you find the manatees which was nice because I noticed some of the other tour companies out on the water today did not do that. We got to swim with three different manatees even though it’s the “off season” and even saw a dolphin at the very end. I’d highly recommend booking with them!
A truly awesome experience. Chad and captain bert and Amanda true mermaid was engaged, genuine and wanted all of us to get the experiences to see manatees. I’m so thankful they make sure our sweet manatees have people like them that care for them so much. We will be back. Amanda took some awesome photos underwater... as seen in our pictures. Extra awesome addition
This was the best thing ever! After looking at many tours I’m so glad we chose this one. The Captain Chad and the guide Luke were very knowledgeable and gave us an unforgettable experience! We will be back next time we’re in Florida and will request them! The kids also liked the manatee stuffed animals in the gift shop after.
Matt & Luke were amazing, friendly and super patient! We went with 2 kids the had never been and it was a group of 10. We had a great time, saw and got pictures of manatees, fish and even a beautiful Blue crab! We definitely recommend them and there are local restaurants right nearby if you get there early or work up an appetite from all the swimming. Thanks so much for a great day with these gentle giants
