The Cruise was very informative and we saw the beauty of Crystal River first hand! My entire family was on the one hour cruise and we could not have been happier with what we saw on the Cruise.

The trip was very pleasant. Started on time. Narrator was always trying to be funny, but he was fine, and did well at answering people's questions. The only reason I give it a 3 rating is because it truly is just a cruise around the bay. Yes, we saw a couple of manatee, but that was it. The only other wildlife we saw was an osprey, and then all the pretty houses were pointed out to us. It's a nice ride, just not sure it's worth the rather high cost of admission.

Our most memorable part of the tour was seeing the manatees there was a lot of friendly people on our cruise that we enjoyed speaking with. I believe our captain was Phil . I can’t remember the tour guides name but she was fabulous as well.

The Captain and our guide were very personable and informative. It’s obvious they love their job! They actually got excited when they spotted a manatee!

Seeing the wild life was my favorite and seeing 4 manatees was absolute best sighting of the tour. The captain and guide were good and very friendly.

I was 20 minutes away from the Plantation King's Bay when someone calling informed me it was canceled due to the weather 😒

We all enjoyed the boat ride and learning more about the area. We are from NH and this is the first time we were in the Crystal River area.
We were excited to see the dolphins, bald eagle and manatees. Perfect weather too.
