5.00Great experience. Our guide Shannon and captain Alex were great. They did a great job for us to get to swim with a manatee. Since it was summer we really had to go look for the manatees. Already planning to come back in winter when the manatees gather in the springs by the hundreds
Let’s go bananas for Manatees

5.00The admission price was much the same throughout the internet search, but we are so happy we chose Fun2Dive Manatee 3 hrTours! The atmosphere was very inviting and fun with a tint of seriousness from both Captain Alex and our fabulous guide Shanna Banana! There was a total of 7 of us on the patoon boat and started and ended with a smile! This tour is best for ANYONE! I was the only one who couldn’t swim or even doggie paddle yet Shana took me “by the noodle” and reassured me I was safe and all I had to do is follow her instructions! We both were so ecstatic before the end of the tour I was comfortable enough to be on my own, just me and one big yellow pool noodle and a momma and her calf came by and grazed on the seagrass bank was even special to observe! And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better the momma manatee swam right up to my bf and as he did nothing as he was instructed and sat still she swam fight under his face!!! So if you need a five star Manatees tour I’d highly recommend Shanna Banana and Captain Alex at Fun2Dive!
Good and Fun

4.00Nice company. Great service. But not the time of year to see manatees. Too much alga bloom. Water so cloudy that visibility is about one foot. Still, the water was refreshing even if the 2 manatees were a mere dark image swimming by.
It was awesome. We...
