On our 3 hour semi private swimming with the manatee tours. We put a maximum of 6 guests to insure an intimate and educational experience. We embark our tour from Petes pier marina located in the heart of kings bay where the manatees can be located anywhere in our 600 acre bay. Once we find the manatees we then exit the boat and snorkel with the manatee. Our experienced guides lead the guests in the water throughout the entire at that time time they are taking photos and videos. All of our photos and small videos taken on the trip are included. Please note. This is a true wild life experience and we do not guarantee perfect conditions. As a small owner operated tour company we believe in transparency with our guests. A lot of tour companies advertise Crystal clear water and picture perfect attractions. During manatee season those are the most likely times to see manatees in or near the springs. Where the water is clearer. During spring, summer and fall. The manatees will be eating on our grass flats where visibility can very between 1 to 6ft. There is residential population of manatees that live in our bay year round. So you can still see manatees in the off season.

This experience was incredible! My daughter loves Manatees and this excursion was a perfect opportunity for her to see them up close. Loved the small group and the crew! The pictures they took were amazing and really captured some great moments of both us in the water with the manatees! Highly recommend Go Local Manatee Tour!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Manatee Tour Review I had the best time on the manatee tour with Josh and Drock! From start to finish they made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and super informative. You can tell they genuinely love what they do — their energy made the whole day even better. They took their time finding the manatees, made sure everyone felt comfortable in the water, and shared so many cool facts about the area and the wildlife. We got amazing views, tons of laughs, and felt totally safe the entire time. If you’re in the area and want a bucket-list experience with guides who are knowledgeable, patient, and hilarious, book with them. Couldn’t recommend it more! 🩵🐋✨

Wonderful tour with Josh and Derek. They were very knowledgeable about the manatees and knew where to find them. We even got to see a mom manatee nursing her baby! We were glad to have the wetsuits to wear as the water is 72 degrees. Awesome experience!

Loved the small group and personal attention. We got ample time with the manatees, away from the other larger groups. Derick & Walter were very friendly and accommodating, took their time to ensure we all received the best experience possible. They explained things and worked well together to get us to the prime spots. The price was reasonable, especially when you consider the free photos (you can just sit back and relax, don’t have to worry about taking photos yourself). The digital photos were delivered to us the same day. The boat and the snorkeling equipment were nice. Overall a great experience, I highly recommend Go Local Manatee Tours!

A once in a lifetime experience! It started with the very relaxed welcome of Walter and Josh. Their knowledge, humor and passion where amazing. We saw multiple manatees even with calfs and spend a lot of time very close to them in the water. You just have to relax and float and Josh takes care of the rest; keeping an eye out to not get to close and make photos. All they do is with the utmost respect to the manatees. Afterwards you warm up in notime with the hot drinks they brought.
