5.00The tour was wonderful and the guides went out of their way to ensure we had a good time. Loved basic education about the animals too. We had a change to swim very close to manatees which was unforgettable experience.
Perfect Tour - 5 Stars

5.00We had an absolutely incredible time on our manatee snorkeling tour. The small group size made a huge difference, as it felt personal and respectful to the animals rather than crowded like some of the boats we saw. Captain Mac was friendly and so professional. Lauren who took us out was exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts and guiding us towards all the manatees. We were lucky enough to see loads of manatees, including some very curious ones. We were honoured to get some manatees kisses! If you want a professional, intimate, and magical encounter, this is the one to book. Free photos and hot chocolate too!
Amazing experience all around

5.00This tour was amazing. Have never been on anything like this and it did not disappoint. Both of the guides were awesome. Very friendly .. made the tour easy and fun. We did the 4 pm tour and it was perfect. When we arrived to the spot there were people there, but by the end it was just us. The manatees did not disappoint either. 10/10 recommended.
One of a kind experience 10/10

5.00Take the 4pm tour it’s the best time literally only 3 boats out and we saw 30-40 manatees . Captain Mac is amazing informational and down to earth and hilarious . Lauren the guide who gets in the water makes the whole experience fun and so kind and gentle . We had the best experience we will be back in the summer for the scallop dance tour !!
Truly fantastic experience with Captain Mac.

5.00What an absolutely amazing experience. Max the skipper and Lauren the swim-guide were amazing and informative. Easy to leave a great review when we were lucky enough to see 12-15 Manatees up close but the crew went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The hot chocolate was amazing. The restaurant recommendation was so good im actually getting emotional about the food 🤣 come to Seafood Seller!! Thank you for a fantastic afternoon.
Highly Recommend!

5.00This was the most amazing experience. Swimming with these gentle giant mammals was a special treat. We left the boat to swim across the canal into one of the three sisters springs. It was surprising to see so many people in the springs observing a mom and her baby. About 15 min later everyone but our 6 plus Lauren our guide was left. We had the whole area to ourselves and 4, then 5 manatees! We got to observe them for almost an hour on our own. I had to just float and not move for around 25 minutes because the manatees surrounded us! Snorkeling and floating with a noodle made it possible to just float and watch. Truly beautiful
A group of 10 of us tried...

5.00A group of 10 of us tried to find a manatee swimming tour after Christmas Day, but almost all the places had been fully booked. Luckily I found an open time slot at 4:00pm in this tour provider. The owner quickly arranged two boats for us and made sure all equipments including wetsuits were ready before departure. Sarah, our swimming tour guide, was very nice and explained everything very clearly during the whole tour. I can’t swim but I got to the springs by using floating and her help! It was such a fun and memorable experience! I would highly recommend their team.
10/10 highly recommended family fun!

5.00We had an unforgettable experience with Seacow Safari! Captain Mac and our guide, Lauren, were incredible — so knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. We snorkeled with manatees and it truly felt magical. What really set this tour apart was how intimate and thoughtfully run it was. Every small detail was taken care of — from warm hot chocolate after the water to a changing room and plenty of time to get comfortable. They also took tons of amazing photos throughout the trip, and the pictures were included in the tour price, which was such a bonus. If you’re thinking about booking, do it! This is the perfect small, personal tour where you feel cared for from start to finish. Highly recommended!
