Private tour with Tommy - Tommy's tour was fun, informative and relaxing! We loved the eco tour! He knew how to spot the manatee and where the wildlife liked to hang out! We we're within feet of an Osprey nest! I would rate this tour 5+ and will book again when in the area!! WE LOVED THIS TOUR!!

Great tour - Sunglasses are needed. Wear sunscreen if your skin is sensitive to the sun, even though the boat has a canopy the sun comes in at an angle. It was easy to get on and off the boat.
Tommy was an awesome guide. Great knowledge and very friendly. The experience was very laid back and relaxing to me. He doesn’t over crowd the boat so there was room to turn around.

Great manatee boat tour with our dogs - We had a fabulous tour this morning with Tommy B and got to bring our 2 dogs with us. We saw lots of birds, including nesting osprey and an eagle. We saw many manatees including a mother a baby. Tommy is very knowledgeable and we enjoyed talking to him. We’ll definitely do this again the next time we’re in this area.

Wonderful Manatee Tour - Be sure to take an early tour to improve your chances of seeing manatees. The tour guide, Tommy, even had blankets to keep you comfortable!

An incredible experience! - Capt. Tommy was so much fun! He's very knowledgeable about manatee, eco system, and so much more. We couldn't have asked for a better time on the water. Don't miss your chance to hang with a great guide and the beauty of Kings Bay at Petes pier! This was absolutely on of the best days we've had. Huge thanks to Tommy!

Lots of manatee with best guide! - Tommy was very knowledgeable of the area and manatee habits. He knew exactly where to find the manatee and we saw lots of them. We also saw a bald eagle! Tommy is well liked among fellow tour guides as all were eager to say high on the water and ask about where the manatee were this day. Great weather and great trip! Thanks Tommy.
