Excellent experience - This was an amazing experience! Animal safety was number one and we were able to swim close to multiple manatees and witness a calf and mother in the wild. Our guide and boat captain were both fantastic and made the experience safe and amazing for all of our party.

Absolutely wonderful - What an absolutely amazing experience! Mermaid Amanda and Captain Chris were amazing guides and were such fun to be around. They both have a world of knowledge about the area, its history, and of course, the beautiful manatees. Both made sure we had the best opportunities for sightings, and we definitely got up close viewing time with these beautiful animals. This is an incredible adventure.

Manatee experience - As a native Floridian, things like this are often overlooked as tourist attractions. Despite that, I am unbelievably glad my family and I came out today to spend it with Todd, Jay and the manatees! What an absolutely wonderful time we had with the two of them! So many laughs, interesting facts, and some incredible experiences with one of my favorite animals. The springs were so beautiful and something I would have never found on my own. Overall, I cannot wait to come back and do this again, 10/10 recommend!

Would try again - The staff was amazing, knowledgeable and friendly. The hot chocolate was the perfect refresher between swimming with the manatees and the crystal river.
