Megan and Ed were wonderful! What a great experience. The education piece was very interesting and we appreciated all of the clear instructions on how to behave around the manatees. I could not believe how close we were floating to the manatees while they were just munching on their food.
The pictures they took were the best- what a treat!
It was a beautiful morning

I am pleased to have the privilege to be with the manatees at Crystal river. The experience was truly unbelievable. Great people that helps the day (solar eclipse) make it as effortless in the water. Thanks for the moments.

Thanks Captain Ed and guide Marissa for an exceptional experience! My aunt and I had a wonderful time and would definitely go again.

Captain Ed and Jessica were awesome. The Salty Siren is a 6 person max tour on a heated house boat. My teen was freezing upon exiting the river so the heated boat and hot drink were great. Capt Ed has a drone and is able to find mantees prior to entering the river. It saves a lot of time trying to search for the mantees. We did two tours on different days, one at 10:45 and 8am. We had better visibility on the 8am tour and saw several very friendly mantees. I think the smaller tour size is great. It would be hard to see a mantee on a 12 person tour. They also have a nice store front to change into and out of the wetsuits. The drone photos were really neat.

Capt Jessica was very informative and educated about the flora and fauna of the region. The small tour size of 6 was allowed us plenty of time to swim with the manatees and not feel crowded. Enjoyed the time and highly recommend the experience.

We had a magical and wonderful experience with the manatees. Small groups give you a great opportunity to see the amazing creatures. The Captain and the Crew member did an awesome job. They gave my kiddos wonderful memories that will live forever! Salty siren tours is amazing… It’s a must when you visit Crystal River!!!

Kim, Ed and Marissa did a fabulous job. We saw many manatees and Marissa and Ed took a lot of great pictures. The group was small (6 people) so we didn’t feel crowded.

My son and I had the most incredible time with Kim and Ed. They are super knowledgeable and have great respect for the manatees and their environment. If you are considering a manatee tour in the area this one absolutely can not be beat. We will definitely return.
