  Crystal was excellent and captain Mike knew just where to go! We were looking for a perfect end to our trip to Florida, and this was it!

  I never write reviews, but this company is WORTH IT! I took my aunt, sister and niece on this tour - swimming with manatees was a bucket list item for me. Our tour guide was Nat and our boat driver was Emerson. Nat was insanely talented at finding manatees, knowing how they would be moving around, and guiding us on how to move/swim. She was very clear in her instructions and not kicking our feet, not splashing, and being calm was necessary and as a result, we were able to float near a GIANT female manatee for over an hour. I got to watch her eat sea grass, I was SO CLOSE to her! Emerson also had great knowledge and was a sweet guy. I am SO HAPPY we did this. Also, there are two really sweet dogs who like pets at River Venture's office, all of their employees were really sweet, their wetsuits and snorkel masks were REALLY nice quality.

  AMAZING experience!!!!! We saw and swam with several manatees (mainly mom and baby pairs 💗). There was an algae bloom so it was a little harder to see but the snorkel gear helped tremendously. Natalie (guide & photographer), Emerson (captain), James (driver), and the owner were kind, helpful, and passionate about their work. We were lucky to have a private experience even though we did not book one. Would suggest a smaller group booking to anyone who wants the most out of their time with the gentle giants. If you want a calm, family friendly/centric, conservation/ecologic focused, and funny/joking experience book today!!!! Not for adrenaline junkies (go to an amusement park).

  What an awesome time! This was on the bucket list for my wife and she could not have been happier! They got to spend an hour just hanging with a manatee. Our trip team, Guide Anna and Captain Mike were super professional, full of great information and funny too. Thanks!

  This time of year water was very murky. There were also a shortage of Manatees. Only a few were in the area. So a couple of noses poking out of the water. Did not get to see them up close at all. Went on the water twice, one with nothing at least to cool down and the other time some of the group got to see one for a minute and gone. Not a good time to go. Our guide and captain were great, but the whole point of the experience was to swim with manatees.

  A magnificent morning, accompanied by Steven and Bryan! We were able to swim with the manatees and see other animal species, fish, turtles, and birds. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming; thank you for these wonderful memories!

  We had the BEST experience swimming with the manatees and honestly could not have asked for a better crew! Huge shoutout to Captain Mike and Captain Laci for making the boat rides so fun and chill. They were hanging out with us, joking around during lunch breaks, and made the whole trip feel super relaxed and enjoyable. Also, a HUGE thank you to our tour guides Crystal and Gary! They were absolutely amazing in the water with us. They helped us every step of the way, taught me how to swim better, helped us feel comfortable around the manatees, recorded videos for us, and made sure we were having fun the entire time. You can really tell they care about making the experience special for everyone. The whole team went above and beyond, and we seriously had such a great time. We would do this again 100 more times and would LOVE to come back someday. Thank you all for such an unforgettable experience!
