Captain Megan and Emmett were awesome guides out on the Crystal River. We saw a bunch of manatees, even a mama and a baby! Snorkeling with all the fish was really cool too! Thanks for all the interesting facts along our ride out and back Emmett! Great navigating Megan! What a blast for this family from Maine! God bless you guys. 😊

Just got back from a really nice 8am snorkel. Chris and Lizz were an excellent captain and guide. So friendly and helpful!! They love what they do and make sure that you see all your can possibly see. We can't thank them enough. For those interested in pictures that they take for you, it's $25 per picture and $99 for the whole album. I asked what the price was before we left but wasn't given an answer. Pretty disappointed by the cost and wanted to give you all a heads up.

We had a great time with SeaDaddys on the Manatee boat trip and our son Dean saw 2 Manatees when he did the snorkeling. Colin was an excellent instructor and knowledgeable about the Manatees and very friendly and lots of fun. Also Michelle the Captain was also very friendly and very knowledgeable about the Manatees. We would recommend SeaDaddys.

Sarah and Brandon were amazing! It was like spending the day on a boat with friends. I was worried about the ethics of doing this, but respect for the animals and environment was top priority at every turn. We felt very safe and comfortable and Brandon even offered to lend someone his sweater when it was cold!

We took a family trip with our three adult daughters and the oldest suggest a trip to Crystal River to swim with the Manatees and it was just amazing. Our tour guide Collin was great, he was in the water with us the entire time and guiding us in our interaction with the Manatees. We seen a baby feeding on it's mama, one that was rolling and playing for us, a couple babies that came face to face and others that just chilled with us. Collin and Captain Dallas were very knowledgeable, kind, funny, and just a lot of fun to spend the tour with. They took us to Jurassic Spring which and we were the only tour there, plus no one else was on the 8AM tour so it was just perfect, would greatly recommend.
