I loved having just a small group of four people with our captain Dylan and our guide Mandy. Dylan and Mandy were awesome!

It's about a 3 hour tour. Great experience. Our boat captain Evan and tour guide Mandy really made this an unforgettable excursion. We got to swim up close and personal with several manatees, including a baby. The wetsuits really keep you from getting cold but bring towels for when you get out of the water as then you might be cold. Mandy and Evan provided us with hot chocolate so that warmed us up pretty quickly. I am so glad I decided to go in the water with my granddaughter. I would highly recommend this tour (small group) and our guides Evan and Mandy.
