Best Tour Ever! - This has been our favorite part of Florida so far! Evan and Taylor were incredible guides. They warned us ahead of time that there was a chance we wouldnt see any manatees, but we ended up seeing 4! Evan took us to a few different spots and Taylor was our guide in the water. They were both very kind and genuinely wanted us to have a good experience. We saw/heard the mama manatee eating, her baby squeaking and calling for her mom. Included pictures was an awesome feature as well. We got some fun pictures so we can remember this experience forever! Highly recommend this specific tour:)

Great experience - Despite not being peak season we swam with the Manatees - a mother and cup and later also another adult. After swimming with them, we asked the captain to show us some more of the bay which he gladly did - very flexible tour.

Absolutely incredible - Absolutely incredible. Both the guide and the captain were extremely nice and dedicated. We saw 2 mama manatees and their cubs. We took the 7:30 am slot and I feel that it’s the way to go! Amazing experience and amazing guide and captain! They were flexible, friendly and very good photographers.

Magical and unforgettable! - This was a wonderful experience! Taylor and Jake were so friendly and keen on making sure we enjoyed ourselves and got to swim with manatees. Afterward, we stopped at a beautiful spring and swam. It was beautiful and magical, and I will never forget the sparkling spring. It just glistened, and was gorgeous to view through snorkels. Definitely recommend!

The best experience, highly recommend - Had the best time with my husband and son a few weeks ago. My husband felt abit ill so sat it out whilst still watching from the boat, but my son and I had a fantastic time. Taylor ensured we got the best experience, all whilst taken photos and filming our experience. We saw lots of manatees and came face to face with and swam along with them… we even got to watch a nursing mum and baby. We saw lots of turtles too and fish. Would highly recommend this company.

Great experience with my daughter - Great experience. The guides went above and beyond to find the Manatees. They were always there to tell where to go and how many manatees were around us. Thank you.

Amazing experience! - This was such an awesome experience. Evan and Taylor were great guides and had my wife and I swimming right alongside the manatees for basically the whole time. Got to swim with a mother and baby on one area as well as a couple of adults in an sling area where the water was nearly perfectly clear. Taylor took so many pictures with their go pro and they both told us a lot of interesting facts about the area, manatees, and local wildlife. I can't recommend this company enough!
