We had the best time with our tour guide Bri and Captain Steve. My husband was so reluctant to even do this, didn’t think he would like it at all, but ended up, loving it. Would definitely recommend this for anyone. The 3 sisters springs were incredible we even saw a blue crab!!!

This tour was the highlight of our vacation! Bri was an incredible guide—super friendly, fun, and full of great info about the manatees! She made us feel comfortable and excited to be in the water. Captain Steve was awesome too with his jokes, and he clearly knew the best spots to go! Their teamwork and hospitality really made this experience special! They even offered coffee and hot chocolate! Highly recommend booking with them!

We had such an amazing time with Bri and Captain John ❤️ we went out a short ways to a cove and learned a little history about the area and then they flew a drone up to see where the sweet potatoe was (manatee) that was a breath taking experience and Bri took some great photos and almost got a sweet potatoe kiss. We then headed o er to experience snorkeling in the most beautiful natural springs area, pretty sister, big sister, and little sister is where all the fresh beautiful turquoise water was and it was amazing 👏 🤩 and when we got out we had manatee mocha it was such a wonderful experience I will definitely be back 😀 🙏

This was cool. Worth laboring into a wetsuit for; that’s the hardest part. We learned a lot and had numerous encounters with these mysterious creatures. Teenage kids were impressed. Casey and Jake are excellent guides, and clearly have deep knowledge and love of the manatees. They’ve been involved in some rescue and rehab work, and we got the benefit of some fun stories. Their boat is nice, and they have a set up to take some good underwater pics. Enjoy!
Great trip
