5.00Zac and captain Alex are both lifelong local residents and gave great advice not only for our tour, but for the entire area. This was seriously one of the best experiences of my life! Everyone was friendly and helpful. My husband (who is not a strong swimmer) was hesitant, but he ended up loving it. Make sure you buy the picture package. Zac is a wonderful photographer!
BEST DAY EVER!

5.00We had a wonderful experience. Jessica and Brody were knowledgeable and funny, so everyone felt very comfortable in the water. There were so many manatees who came to swim with us. It was enchanting and a day we’ll never forget. I’ve been snorkeling in Hawaii and the Galapagos, but this was so different and special.
Great time

Bucket list Manatee experience

5.00Amazing guide Eli and Boat Captain Derek guided us and found us the most amazing experience of snorkeling with a mother and calf in the spring itself. Hot Chocolate on board was a superb way to warm us up on the way back to the dock after certainly a bucket list item ticked off. Felt totally safe and secure both in and out the water. Totally recommend the private group as you get the undivided attention of both Derek and Eli, not only learning about the Manatees but about the devastating effects of the last 2 hurricanes on not just the local flaura and fauna but also on the local houses and humans, and why houses are now being built on stilts. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
