Eddie was super helpful navigating everyone to see the manatees. There ended up being 3 manatees- a mom, calf and young male all in the same area. This was truly an unforgettable experience and can’t wait to do it again! Highly recommend!”

Review of a Tulum tour with cenote swimming, Yal Ku Lagoon snorkeling, Mayan ruins, beach lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“Cenotes were absolutely the best part of the experience. Tulum was breathtaking, but I have seen other similar ruins. The snorkeling was good, but unfortunately, there were so many other inexperienced snorkelers that it felt like driving in rush-hour traffic. I got run over more than once by someone with fins and elbows.. no consideration for anyone near them just to see a fish. The best part of the tour were the guide and the driver, Gato and Adrian. Some of the most professional excursion guides I have ever seen with no thought of anything, but the safety and comfort and enjoyment of their charges. I give them an 11…”

Review of Crystal River’s small-group manatee snorkeling tour, with guides, wetsuits, photos, hot drinks, practical tips, and honest value advice.

Ron and Celeste were kind, welcoming, and made sure we felt comfortable and understood the experience. It was a colder day and they had wetsuits, noodles, jackets to wear on the boat, hot chocolate and coffee! They even took pictures of us and answered our many questions about manatees and the local ecosystem. Would definitely recommend this tour!”

Throughout the journey, he shared fascinating insights about the history, culture, and nature of Seychelles, which made the experience even more enriching. On the trail, Benjamin guided us with patience and ensured we enjoyed the stunning views safely. During snorkeling, he pointed out beautiful spots and marine life, making the underwater experience unforgettable.

Swim with Crystal River manatees on a private three-hour tour with gear, guides, photos, and room for up to 10 people.

“The captain and mate (Micheal and Dani) were great we loved them, I would have rated this 5 stars if maybe we were warned ahead of time that we were going to be in very murky water and not really see much of the manatees. It was a fun day but we only really saw one maybe two and there were a lot of other tours in the same area and we only could spend a limited time with the one we saw. I have done the tour before and it was in the winter in the springs. That is the way to go, don't go anytime past February or…”
