Not the time of year for this.

3.00This time of year water was very murky. There were also a shortage of Manatees. Only a few were in the area. So a couple of noses poking out of the water. Did not get to see them up close at all. Went on the water twice, one with nothing at least to cool down and the other time some of the group got to see one for a minute and gone. Not a good time to go. Our guide and captain were great, but the whole point of the experience was to swim with manatees.
Excellent!

5.00We had the BEST experience swimming with the manatees and honestly could not have asked for a better crew! Huge shoutout to Captain Mike and Captain Laci for making the boat rides so fun and chill. They were hanging out with us, joking around during lunch breaks, and made the whole trip feel super relaxed and enjoyable. Also, a HUGE thank you to our tour guides Crystal and Gary! They were absolutely amazing in the water with us. They helped us every step of the way, taught me how to swim better, helped us feel comfortable around the manatees, recorded videos for us, and made sure we were having fun the entire time. You can really tell they care about making the experience special for everyone. The whole team went above and beyond, and we seriously had such a great time. We would do this again 100 more times and would LOVE to come back someday. Thank you all for such an unforgettable experience!

5.00This was a blast! I love animals and water so much and having Mrs Crystal there to calm my nerves and communicate to me what was happening was so amazing! Mr Mike and his jokes were very funny! And the way he looked out for our little friend on board! Mrs Lacey and Mr Gary were also very lighthearted and funny!
