Friendly and entertaining tour guides, relaxing and perfect after a long day of activities. We spotted a manatee withing the first 5 minutes and got an up close view, with time to take pictures... even got to see some cool looking birds with babies in their nests.

This property is in need of a major renovation. Signs of wear prominent. Ongoing problems with tv when we just wanted to sit back and relax. That being said there are some redeeming factors. Staff friendly and helpful. Great location to a variety of restaurants. Adventure center boat tour very nice. Pleasant outdoor surroundings. Will I go back? No unless major upgrades are complete. This was not a good value.

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.

Bonnie_F

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.
