Fun time! - Really fun, well done tour. Leah and Mikey were great hosts, we got to do and see it all. We saw 5 manatees, including momma and baby. We want to come back in the winter.

Phillip and Giggles for the win - Awesome day with excellent guides. Saw a baby and mama. Also visited 3 sisters. Wonderful time, excellent photography, plus a nice gift shop.

Best day ever! - If you want to have the best day ever, then book with this crew! I’ve never done anything like this before and was a little nervous going into it but Leah & Phil made me and my daughter feel 100% comfortable and I don’t think we stopped smiling the entire time! So grateful we got the opportunity to spend such a magical time with Leah & Phil. I’ll definitely be recommending this experience to anyone who asks!

Bucket list - check - Super tour with excellent in-water guide Gaby. We saw several manatees even if the season were coming to an end. Close encounters with mama and calf. Water not as clear as expected, due to hurricanes earlier in the fall. Overall super happy and I got to tick off one item on my bucket list.

An absolute must do in Clearwater!! - Such an amazing experience! My son and I love nature and decided to try this in his 15th birthday. Leah (aka Giggles) was an amazing tour guide and Todd was a phenomenal captain. They knew right where to go to be away from the droves of people trying to find manatees but still find them. We will be back in the winter months to do this again. They also took us to Three Sisters Springs and to check out some gators. Such an unbelievable experience and would highly recommend it!

A memorable afternoon - Accompanies attentive to visitors and manatees. In April, few manatees. The team takes the time to find them and the small group does not scare the animal. Then swim in clear water surrounded by tropical paradise vegetation. I recommend this small group service compared to large groups

Hands down best tour ever! - I cannot stress enough how amazing these folks are. They are Super friendly, had a ton of knowledge about not only the wildlife but cool stories and facts about the area. They definitely know what they are doing and really respect the wild life which really made our family happy. We ended up with 6 of us going which is the maximum amount per tour so even though we had the semi private it ended up being private because of our numbers. Leah was awesome with the kids and got right into the water to show us where everything was. She explained on the way to Todd that the area was hit very hard by the hurricanes and that the water wasn’t as clear as it normally is but wow we cannot wait to come back and swim again and see what clear is because the water wasn’t absolutely amazing from what we got to see. We also had a perfect timing to see some dolphins in the water before we even got in to swim! Again not enough stars to give this crew credit. Will definitely be back and recommend everyone to them.
