Swimming with Manatees

We did this activity right at the end of the Manatee season. We did see some but the water wasn’t very clear - you could see them when they surfaced. Our guides were excellent and very informative. We ended up seeing lots of wild life when we went on a boat tour. We really enjoyed our morning - thank you

Great end of season experience

Great tour guides! Christian and the captain were an exceptional wealth of information, found us amazing experiences and were a lot of fun. The manatee were sparce this time of year, but our guys knew where to go to find them! Thank you!

Memories for a lifetime

What a great experience! Since it was late in the season, we only saw one manatee but our guide made sure we stayed with her for quite awhile. Such a gentle giant. The wet suits and snorkel equipment looked brand new and well cared for. With the free pictures, the price was well worth it. Only having 6 in the group made it easier to see the manatee without feeling crowded. We would definitely do this again earlier in the season.

Great Tour ahead of the Crowds

We did the small group (6 or less) tour at 6:30am in mid-February. It was a fantastic tour! Starting out that early in the morning got us into the area where the manatees are with no one else around. The guide and captain were excellent. They were knowledgeable and accommodating, and the heater and hot chocolate early in the morning were much appreciated!

Bucket List Trip

What a great experience. Captain Alan and Joanna, the “first mate, boat handler, photographer, etc” were fantastic. They were able to find manatees and give us a bucket-list experience. There were 5 of us in the group celebrating our mother’s 90th birthday. She had the time of her life. The quality of their wetsuits were first class along with their masks and snorkels. With all of us being scuba divers, we usually bring our own, but decided to take a chance and left our mask and snorkels at home. Glad we did. The day we went out was chilly. We appreciated the hot tea and cocoa when we got out. We loved the heater too! Alan was kind enough to help us into the boat if we needed it and also help us out of our wetsuits if needed. These people made the trip fun. I would highly recommend them.

Everything we hoped for!

What a great experience! Captain Al and crew were so friendly from my first phone call to exiting after the swim. Captain Al took us directly to the manatees. He provided great information and facts about them. The entire experience was absolutely amazing. The great pictures were an added bonus. Would highly recommend this tour and would use services again
