Fabulous way to start the new year - There were hundreds of manatees! We got a close in person… Not touching. I was right there when the manatee was spouting!

Awesome 👌 - My family and I had a great time! Capt Ryan and Bree were awesome they made everything very easy, it was a cold windy day we were nervous it was going to be a bad day for it... we were wrong it was plenty warm in the boat and in the water, very thankful we had an amazing time making memories!!

Great experience - Amazing experience! We had captain Taylor and guide Ryan who were both incredible. They took their time to find the best spots for us to see manatees and they were also very entertaining! We will definitely book with them again in the future!

Our guide was great and swimming with the Manatees was amazing - Swam with the Manatees with our guide Heather. She and our boat captain made the trip a lot of fun and we thoroughly enjoyed their sense of humor. Definitely ask for Heather when you go. They care about the animals and ensure we knew about and followed the rules. Thank you!

One in a million experience - Rodney was a fabulous guide and Capt Taylor did a wonderful job. We visited a spot with excellent visibility and one of the manatees interacted with us. They did a great job instructing us in the proper etiquette and our group was very respectful of the animals. I would definitely go again!

I would definitely do it again with Ross and Steve - They were looking for a place where there are many manatees. Since I was scared at first while swimming, Ross helped me a lot and took away my fear. It was then an indescribable experience

Manatee Love - Heather and Ryan were knowledgeable about the trip. They gave us a lot of useful information. Both were friendly and approachable. We were in the water for about 45 minutes with a manatee. The experience was wonderful and unforgettable.

First time adventure - Russ was a awesome tour guide and Ryan was our capitan. We had an excellent time with them and they made our adventure great. We were able to find 5 manatees which were having just as much fun as we were. We definitely will return..

Morning snorkel with manatees - This is our second time using this company for manatee snorkeling in the past few years and we’re always met with informational and great guides. Ryan & Ryan were great and made sure everyone viewed the manatees even though the water conditions weren’t the best (cloudy due to recent storms). As a nature lover I really appreciate how serious these guys take their jobs to make sure the crowd has a good time but also makes sure that everyone is respecting nature. 10/10 recommend and we’re going to take a weekend trip from NC to complete the initial dive course to become certified.
