Get Up And Go Kayaking delivers exactly what manatee-seekers hope for, with guests consistently spotting numerous manatees during their tours. The experience seems especially magical during evening trips when these gentle giants are most active. What really stands out is how the guides, particularly Yas (mentioned repeatedly by happy visitors), have an impressive talent for tracking down wildlife and ensuring everyone gets up-close encounters. The tour guides earn nearly universal praise for being friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure every paddler has a memorable time. They balance humor with helpful instruction, making first-time kayakers feel comfortable while keeping the group entertained. Cameron also gets a shout-out for his patience and interactive approach. Travelers appreciate that the guides go beyond just leading the tour—they actively work to maximize wildlife sightings and create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere on the water. It's clear this operator knows Crystal River's waterways intimately and consistently delivers the manatee encounters people travel here to experience.
Me and my partner did a kayak tour with Crosby. We were lucky enough to come across a manatee + have him come under our boat despite it not being season. Must be Crosby’s good juju. We saw turtles, cool, birds, and fish. Loved the experience and would recommend Crosby as a tour guide again
