5.00I greatly enjoyed the tour. Our guide was able to bring us right up a spring where quite a few manatees were coming and going and we could get pretty close without disturbing them. It felt cold after a while, but the boat captain had hot chocolate for us when we got back. All in all, very good experience, would definitely recommend.
Two thumbs up!!!

5.00This is one of our all-time favorite excursions. There are not many excursions that we would repeat if we were in the area again. However, this is one excursion we would 100 percent sign up for over and over. The Manatees are amazing, the tour guide ensures that the animals are not harmed, you are joining them in their habitat, and you are instructed on how to view without pestering them.

5.00Excellent experience! Helpful and knowledgeable staff! Kristen kept an eye on the manatees the whole time in the water and Ryan was able to spot them with the help of a drone! Both very friendly and knew a lot about the area!

5.00It was a great experience! I had a great time snorkeling with the manatees. We immediately found one and got to enjoy swimming next to her while she was munching away on grass. It was the best experience.
