When we arrived to check in the staff was so nice from the start. Our tour guide and Captain were knowledgeable and fun. We got to see so many manatees and some came out and played with the tour guide a little. Crystal River is beautiful. I would strongly recommend everyone going at some point!
Fun day!

Faith and shelbie were excellent! They made sure we as a group were happy and gave us the option to choose where to spend our time. They were knowledgeable and friendly. We are glad we finally made the trip up to crystal river after living in tampa the last 2 years. It is 100% worth it and we will be back!
