So Amazing & Fun! - I am so happy that I booked the glow kayak tour and so happy we got Lily as our guide! She was full of lots of information about all the sea life, wildlife, birds, and even the trees! She answered all of our questions and took so many great photos. Lily also was just so incredibly kind, personable, and funny. I would really recommend this experience as you get to see some incredible wildlife and sea life including (of course) manatees! Thank you so much again for the amazing tour!!!

Such a magical night - Our time spent on the Crystal River was phenomenal. We were provided with safety information, given all the tools for our trip (paddles, kayaks and life jackets) The crew was wonderful and personable. Lilly, our guide was amazing. She made sure we were safe and comfortable. Now the manatees themselves were an otherworldly experience. We were so fortunate to see several on our journey. We were very lucky to have another family in our group who was just as excited as we were. It was a truly magical night! Well worth twice what we paid!

Great tour with a great guide! - Kyle was a fantastic guide. The whole crew was welcoming and on top of things from the moment we arrived. We didn’t spot any manatees on our sunset tour, but the experience was still worth it—gorgeous views, relaxed vibes, and plenty of insight into the area and the manatees themselves. Kyle knew his stuff and was genuinely enjoyable to talk with.

Birthday day to myself - Best time ever. It was my birthday present to myself. Loved it. Would do it again. Didn't think I could paddle for 2 1/2 hours but I did it.

Glow Kayak Tour - What an amazing experience! Kyle did an excellent job. He was very knowledgeable & taught us so much about the springs. He was very detailed in explaining all state & local resources going into protecting the springs & manatees. My husband & I kayak a lot at home. We never kayaked at night. We did the glow kayak in the clear kayak. It was beautiful & so peaceful in the evening. Kyle took some amazing pictures & videos of my husband & I. He promptly sent us the pics/videos within an hour of us ending the tour. I highly recommend doing this tour, it did not disappoint. And Yes, we were also lucky enough to see a manatee & her calf.

This was a nice evening... - This was a nice evening activity. The sunset was so pretty. It was just me and another couple. We got to see a few manatees and some other wildlife including some racoons and birds. The experience could have been so much better if the guide was better educated on the different birds and could point and name them for us who are unfamiliar with the local wildlife. She seemed pretty unsure herself. Overall a nice evening.
