I wanted to take my nieces and nephew to do a true florida adventure and this did not disappoint. It was the groups favorite part of the trip. I have been on Mantee tours previously, but Nature's Discovery will now be my 'go to' for all future manatee tours. Mandy and Captain Evan were fantastic. Good combo of light hearted joking, education and fun. It was a delight and I'm so grateful we got to experience this.
Our captain took us to places he knew manatees were and stopped along the way to see dolphins. Once we swam for quite some time with the manatees, he took us to a natural spring where we got to explore that area freely and took some neat photos in the spring.
We absolutely loved this tour! Jake was our captain and Hudson was in the water with us and taking pictures. Both were very fun to be around and knowledgeable to the area. We had 4 adults and 4 kiddos and everyone had a blast! They found several manatees, including a baby and mama, and got us up close while respecting the wildlife and ensuring we didn’t bother them. They’re such amazing creatures 🫶🏻 We were even able to see dolphins playing and catching fish as a bonus! 10/10 recommend this tour and these 2 as a team for your adventure. They gave local food recommendations and were spot on. We would definitely do this again!
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Would definitely recommend or even go again! It’s a must do!!
Amazing guides and lots of fun!
Captain Henry and guide Hudson were amazing. Unbelievable lifetime experience. You can definitely tell that this tour service is locally owned and operated.
Our family had an amazing experience. We went in the off season, but Captain Henry and guide Hudson knew exactly where to look. They were all super friendly (captain, guide, and the manatees.) Awesome memory of being up close to a mama and baby. I highly recommend using them for a unique family experience and lifetime memory.
They were great!! Very knowledgeable, and fun to spend time with. Come see them, you'll love it
We went on the tour as a group of 11 and it was the best experience!! Trent was a great guide and did an amazing job of making sure everyone was safe and felt included. And Tom was a wonderful captain as well, completely smooth the whole way through. I would highly recommend checking them out if you haven’t!!!
We had a wonderful manatee tour with Trent and Jake! Both were super relaxed, friendly, and very knowledgeable. They took great photos and sent us nice, clear pictures very quickly after the trip. Highly recommend this chill and enjoyable experience! 😊
