5.00This has been the best experience of our vacation this summer. Booking through the company was easy, we called and spoke someone at the shop who guided us through the steps to book (I wish I had written down his name). Wetsuits and goggles were provided, hot chocolate and tea and coffee were offered on the boat (the kids enjoyed the hot chocolate), and everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable. Chaz was our boat captain (a great conversationalist and someone who cares about giving the best experience possible - he was able to give us prime manatee swimming time and gave us insight on the best times and places to find them) and Nicole was our guide (she is a sweet person and took great photos of our time with the manatees and was very helpful in keeping our trip fun and the family together). Definitely recommend this for an amazing, unforgettable experience, and are coming back again.
Amazing experience!

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Shanna and Alex! They were excellent at finding the manatees and helping us get the most out of our experience. They were very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of time in the water with the manatees.
Fantastic, knowledgable and 10/10 experience!

5.00These guys are awesome. We were running late because of traffic and they told us they would wait on us to get there. Late by close to 20 mins and they worked with us. These guys rock. Very accommodating and very fun to talk too. Would def do it again.
Fun Manatee Trip!

5.00Shanna and Cpt. Monty were amazing. We found a manatee grazing pretty quick into the tour. Shanna was very good at making sure all us on the tour were able to get to see the manatee surface for breath while also making sure the manatee wasn't getting stressed from us being there. We spent a little more than 3 hours on the water with a quick bus ride back and forth from the main building.
