We had the most amazing experience. Everyone was so nice and friendly. It was like you were out with good friends. I would not hesitate to book with Manatee Paddle. In fact if you don’t, I feel like you are missing out!

Absolutely loved this tour. Crosby was super knowledgeable about the area, wildlife and of course manatees. We got to see so many up close; definitely an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this company for a great tour!

They deserve every 5 star rating they have. Family operated, everyone was incredibly nice and helpful. You can tell they love what they do and love our waterways. They paddled out in the morning to be able to give us recommendations on which spot to go to which helped us budget our time better. Then were forgiving when we weren’t great at budgeting our time and came back a couple minutes late. There are more wild, rural parts of crystal river. This side is mostly residential, but it’s worth its own stop. Best bang for your buck and the best experience. Take a paddle with them then make a separate trip other parts of crystal river if needed. It’s worth it.
