Travis from Crystal River Manatee Fun offers unforgettable experiences swimming with the manatees. Observing these gentle giants up close without disturbing their natural behavior is truly magical. Our encounter with the manatees will stay with us forever, and we highly recommend Crystal River Manatee Fun for anyone seeking a remarkable wildlife experience.
We offer various tour options, including morning and afternoon tours, private tours, ecotours, and sunset tours. Between November and April, Crystal River is home to the largest aggregation of manatees in the world. To protect these creatures, the area is part of the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge and Manatee Sanctuaries. Before your tour, make sure to watch the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service video to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for both humans and manatees. Visit our website for more information on the Refuge and manatees.

Reviews
"Capt. Travis was amazing! 10000% you should book with Crystal River Manatee Fun! The boat is brand new and really comfortable, the groups are very small and he lets you make the most of the trip. All of the other manatee tours are in older boats, packed with people. We saw a ton of manatees and got up close and personals with them. When the manatees weren’t moving around a lot, he lets us explore around the boat and find them on our own. Plus hot chocolate to top it off! This is absolutely the guy you should book with! Thanks for a great day!"
"Captain Travis was fun, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He took us to many spots to view, and to swim with the manatees. He even had me try different equipment that fit me better, and didn't just let me try to figure things out on my own. 1000% worth it, and 1000% recommend, for families or private tours. Had a nice comfortable boat, with music, way better than those cold aluminum seats you get with other tours."
"Amazing day on the water with Captain Travis! Friendly, knowledgeable of the local area and knew all the best spots to see all the manatee. When I come back to Florida I’ll definitely be booking in with him again to charter a fishing trip. Again, brilliant day, could not be happier!"
"We had a great time. Brand new pontoon boat (nicest pontoon at the marina), new wetsuits and snorkels. Just three of us so felt like a private tour. Got to stop at multiple places and a place where no other boats were. Saw lots of manatees. Easygoing and super friendly Captain , great communications. Highly recommend."
"If you are looking for a Crystal River manatee tour this is the one! A great captain a great boat and good new gear. Travis are knowledgeable, friendly and will make sure you have the best possible experience. Thanks for this great experience."
