    Shelby was our guide and my group was a party of 12 total which is the maximum for each tour. She was full of information and her and the captain were great! I went solo since I am a young widow and we saw several manatees and the pictures were great. She ensured all parties were able to see a manatee up close. No camera needed as the guides take plenty of pictures and you can buy the link for about 40 bucks and it is over 100 photos and videos. Highly recommend! Oh! They said to book in the mornings if possible for the opportunity for more sightings!!

    This was lots of fun and informative. We saw lots of Manatees , after they provided hot drinks . Do bring your own water proof camera because if they take the pics it cost and most pics don’t show that you were at the activity . Do bring a jacket or sweatshirt to cover up after as many were chilled that didn’t . Enjoy ! We loved it!
