Our guides were super cool and very knowledgeable about the surrounding waterways and of course the manatees. I highly recommend if you're looking for an amazing Manatee experience.

Even though it wasn't manatee season we still had the opportunity to swim with 5 different manatee and there was a mom and a baby witch was super cool to see.
