Russ was a awesome tour guide and Ryan was our capitan. We had an excellent time with them and they made our adventure great. We were able to find 5 manatees which were having just as much fun as we were. We definitely will return..

We had a blast and would definitely do it again if we were in the area. Our party of 7 got suited up and enjoyed swimming with the sweetest grass vacuum we've ever seen. The crystal clear spring was incredible as well. Both our guide and pilot were knowledgeable and friendly and they're willingness to work with other boats and companies made everyone's experiences a positive one. Cannot recommend this experience enough!
