4.00I’m glad we chose this company for our tour. There were just the two of us which was great. Kaitlyn is an experienced and gentle guide and Captain Jason was expert at locating the manatees. One caveat: avoid if you have joint issues with EDS, RA, OA or lupus as the wet suits are buoyant and gently bend you backwards into a slight U shape. I have no chronic back issues but I have a sore back this morning. Knowing this, I would definitely do this again.

5.00Oh my god, this was the BEST experience of my life. I would do this 100x over. I am a larger person and almost canceled several times but I am so glad that i didn’t, I had a wonderful time! I will be back in the winter to see more. We met Patches a very pregnant and hungry lady. I adore her.
Amazing experience all around!

5.00Our guide Shanna and Captain Derek were phenomenal! We had the best time with this experience. It was well priced for the amount of time you got to spend in the water and the manatees were beautiful. It was amazing to be able to see them in their natural habitat. I will definitely be recommending this to everyone.
Wonderful experience

5.00Swimming with manatees was a really great experience. Nice guide and skipper and they have good knowledge. We only saw 1 Manatee but for a long time. They respect the manatees well, it was fantastic.
