Five Star Experience. - We had a great day and our Captain Jake and in water guide and photographer Crystallynne were both 5++ stars. They found us a manatee and we were the only 4 people viewing him. They were entertaining, knowledgeable, funny and professional. The whole package! We would go back again to Natures Discovery in a heart beat ❤️

THREE Manatees! Holy moly!!! - So nice, informative, and fun, fun, fun! Kaya was our guide and Evan was our boat captain. We were able to swim with THREE manatees! The water was murky and they moved fast, but Kaya and Evan did such a great job getting us with those beautiful beasts. Plus, bonus swim in natural springs! What an excellent experience for everyone. Can’t wait to do this again!

Amazing! - 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.

Guides were great and we... - Guides were great and we saw manatees! My only star deduction is because the wetsuits were ill fitting and worn (especially for the kids) so half our crew couldn’t stay in the water because they were too cold. We scuba dive, so the importance of maintaining body temperature is key to a positive experience. Highly recommend more kids sizes and getting rid of old worn suits.
