5.00A delightful mix of professionalism and fun! All aspects of our safety and the highest respect for the manatees and their wellbeing and environment was emphasized at every stage of our adventure. The crew members were very knowledgeable and attentive. And wonderful company, too. For us, it was the experience of a lifetime. We saw a manatee and her calf in their natural habitat. And we so appreciated the hot chocolate served on board on our return. Thank you to everyone! Alan and Sharon
It was BEYOND amazing!!

3.00I was very disappointed! All the pictures and videos u see are not what u get! And it was supposed to be 3 hours started 20 min late and it ended 25 min early! The tour guide and boat driver were very kind and knowledgeable, however if u r going off of the pictures they show it’s nothing like it!
