Orlando Manatee and dolphin tour - I was booked for the Orlando manatee and natural Spring adventure tour at Blue Springs. The day before the tour Three Brothers adventure tour texted me that they were changing the tour to Merritt Island because they saw more wildlife at this location. It was a little further from our hotel by Universal Studios, but closer to the airport. My tour guide was Jack and he was very knowledgeable of the area. It was great because I had a private tour. Jack told me the history of the area and it was very interesting. We didn’t see any manatees, but there were 4 bottlenose dolphins that we got to see. A mother, her baby and 2 other dolphins. I was so happy he sent me 18 pictures of me kayaking with the dolphins. I love kayaking and really enjoyed the tour. I would highly recommend it.

Informed day before that tour was not available - We didn’t get to experience this tour. The park was not allowing this activity, due to the number of manatees. Not the outfitter’s fault. However, I think that they should have known and communicated with us sooner than 24 hours beforehand that the tour would not be possible. That would have given us the notice and time to book a different kind of tour in the area. And it would have prevented our credit card being charged.

Location changed by Organizer and Terrible - What a terrible experience! I was very excited to book this manatee and natural spring experience for my business associates. But that's not we experienced. First, the organizer called less than a day before the event to tell us that they are changing the location. It ended up on the Indian River, a brackish body of water loaded with abandoned boats (counted 7 semi-sunken boats in a 2-mile stretch). No manatees, no clear water...just birds (we have the same birds in SanFran). Although the guide (Spencer) was knowledgeable and friendly, the location was awful. And very difficult to find as there was no address to meet at. If you don't know central Florida, you would be like us, and very lost. The guide tried hard and we finally found him by using his description of his truck. We met on the side on a highway! I usually love the trips we schedule with Tripadvisor, but this was just awful.

Disappointing - Blue Springs was booked. We were told that there is a second point where we will see significantly more wildlife. Unfortunately, complete misrepresentation. Although we saw some dolphins, but no manatees. Our guide tried hard but the canal where we should see wildlife was right next to a busy road. All in all disappointing. We wanted to see the Blue Springs and unfortunately we were persuaded to do something else.

Be mindful: they cancel tour last minute and put you on different tour - We got told very last min our tour is cancelled. Kristen R put us to another tour, she called me on WhatsApp and said “it’s the same tour but different location” so we agreed to go. However when we arrived at the new tour location, we were super disappointed: not a national park, literally right next to a highway, not a spring, water isn’t clear. I tried to call and message her and she gives no response even until today.
