Awesome!

This was such a great experience. It didn’t seem touristy, it was very educational about manatees and their disappearing habitat. These tours are important for protecting the animals and maintaining there underwater grasslands. It’s also so fun , they are such wonderful curious creatures that come right up to you, I had a baby manatee swim right up and look me in the eyes inches from my face.

The most memorable part of the experience was seeing the manatees come up for air right in front of you!! They were right in front of your mask and you could see the grass still hanging out of their mouths and hear their little breaths. It was amazing!!

Bring up close and personal with the manatee was breath taking. Our guide Cory was very calm and knew how to handle being in the water with them And how to help the ones who were nervous. This is a trip I’ll never forget.

We saw 5-6 manatees, swimming, feeding, and coming to the surface to breathe. It was magical to watch these creatures in their Natural habitat. Jake was a fantastic guide in the water, working hard to ensure everyone got a good look. Visiting the three sisters springs at the end was icing on the cake.

This was an amazing experience. Christian and Kyle made sure we saw manatee within the first ten minutes. We were in the water surrounded by them for about 40 minutes and they were so friendly! I was worried about a long boat ride but everything is really close. The hot chocolate, coffee and hot showers after were a bonus. The group went on to a spring which looked gorgeous. I can’t wait to go back and bring my family!
