What an amazing experience!!!!

5.00My wife and I just did the manatee snorkel tour yesterday and it was an amazing experience. We had Piper and Captain Michelle and we could not have asked for better people. They went above and beyond to ensure we found some manatees (it was a warmer day with less in the bay) and had the best experience. 10/10 I would recommend River Ventures and Piper and Michelle. We plan on going again next year and will be requesting them again.
Amazing Experience!!!

5.00From the start, the experience was amazing. We had to watch a short video for instructions about what not to do, and what we’re allowed to do. Our in-water guide Lauren was such an awesome person, she helped with our young family member and was so sweet and patient with her and everyone. Our shuttle driver James helped us with the transportation to the dock and back, and with our check in process. Finally our captain Bryan was awesome as well, and stayed fully engaged with us during the time we were in the water/on the boat.

5.00Took us on a very short bus ride (<5 minutes), Took us on a short boat ride (<15 minutes) The staff were knowledgeable and easy to talk with. They gave clear instructions for when we enter the water and good expectations on what to expect. They made the experience even better. I would definitely book with this company again!
Amazing experience with the manatees

5.00Fantastic experience, plenty of opportunities to swim up to the manatees and they swam under me which was amazing. The guide and boat captain were friendly and knowledgeable and made the experience fun. The only thing I would say is that the photos were disappointing it would have been nice to get a photo with my husband under the water but everything else was great.
amazing adventure

2.00Very disappointed Only got to see one manatee on top of that. The guide didn’t get any pictures of us did not wait for us at all. The captain of the boat had to tell her hey how about you wait for the people in the back to come up I was hoping way more than what we got . I say that I would probably try a different company water was very murky.
Fabulous adventure!

5.00It was a marvelous experience! Our guide, Gary, and boat Captain, Brian, were both personable, humorous and told great stories about the area and the wildlife. Gary gave good instructions, kept us safe and got us close enough to see numerous manatees. It was a fabulous adventure. We would definitely do it again.
I'll Give Them Two Thumbs Up!

5.00I had a wonderful time snorkeling this morning with Captain JJ and guide Anna. Both were very friendly yet professional, very knowledgeable and helpful. It turned out that our destination--Three Sisters Springs--was very crowded, and not all the other swimmers were being considerate; the kids, in particular, were kicking their feet and walking on the bottom, stirring up silt. We did see manatees there, but not as clearly as we'd hoped. So Anna and JJ decided to try a different spot, Jurassic Spring. There we found quite a few manatees, mostly sleeping, but not all. It was much quieter there and we didn't feel crowded at all. To make things even better, we also saw a stingray on the bottom. That was definitely cool. I really appreciated the way the tour was conducted and the willingness of our captain and guide to be flexible in order to give us a good trip.
