Great way to get some manatees sightings very quickly on foot! Not much walking needed Tommy knows a few spots. We got to see at least one pup and mother. Probably about seven or eight other others. Perfect for us cause we had a grandmother with us that can’t walk too much or get on a boat. 30 minutes was plenty of time. The kids were already to go. He actually stayed a little bit longer as well.

Tommy was excellent. He made the tour very enjoyable. I wanted to see manatees up close and I was able to do this. Tommy was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. It was just a short drive from where we were staying and the group was small. I would definitely do a tour with Tommy again.

The best money I spent! Tom was very knowledgeable and offered numerous manatee facts—habitat, diet and behaviors, to name a few. He also informed us of the environmental dangers manatees face. Time was enthusiastic and ensured we saw many manatees (approximately 15) in the short time we were with him. Thanks again for a great experience!
