Awesome manatee tour

RJ was an awesome guide. We saw so many manatees. My partner had never kayaked before but in our double clear kayak he did great. Would do it again.

Awesome Experience!

The best kayaking we have done in Crystal River. Our tour guide was RJ. He was so fun to be with on our chilly morning. We saw a ton of manatees and learned a lot about them. I would highly suggest this group. Check out the cute gift shop before you leave.

Rowboat with manatees

This was incredible and we are so pleased with our experience. Please remember to drink plenty of water. Kayaking is a sport and you can expect to be a bit sore the day after any adventure. This one is no different.
