Our family of 9 had a great trip yesterday with Captain Todd and Misty was an amazing guide! We saw several manatees up close and personal including a moms and baby! We enjoyed swimming with the Tarpin and visiting the Three Sisters Springs! Kings Bay was a great adventure for our family! We appreciated everyone being so friendly and allowing us to have a great time!

A Wonderful Manatee Swim
DJB
, Feb 2020
The entire excursion was well organized from checking in to returning from the swim! Corey, our guide, was excellent! He shared many manatee facts with us and made sure we were doing appropriate things so as not to hurt the manatees and were respectful of them and the environment. We will be back to experience this again!

Perfect Excursion and Dozens of Manatees.
Bonnieorris
, Feb 2020
The excursion of a lifetime! I had great communication from tour operator Miss Kim. I was worried that the big dip in temp into the 30s made it a bad day to go. Not so. The cold weather encourages the manatees to come into the 72 degree warm spring. After a safety video and donning our wetsuits, we went by van to the pier. I was not prepared for the number and size of the manatees. There were dozens of them and they were much bigger than I imagined. We snorkeled among them with good supervision from our guides who also documented our trip with photos. In short it was AWESOME. I can't quit talking to our friends about the unique experience.
