We were all aboard after viewing the video about the rules of our swim with the manatees. However, when we got to the only spot where they were swimming, there were several other boats full of people in the same area. In order to actually see them, we had to swim up to them, crowd them and there was lots of noise. Actual time spent swimming with them was very limited-we were hurried along by our boat crew so that other boats could have viewing time. Disappointing. Could’ve gotten just as close in a kayak.

Went out with captian Mike and Michelle they were amazing. So much great information they shared. We got to swim with many manatees. Got great photos...and loved the moca manatee drinks to warm us up. Thank you for the experience of a life time.

Water clarity was murky and a little difficult to see the manatees. We did get to see an and swim with a mother and its calf , and another manatee. We saw dolphins and turtles. The staff was very knowledgeable. It was a great day , with great weather!

Janet_G

Saw a lot of manatees. John was an excellent guide and Geri was a great captain. We saw manatees less than 50 yards from the dock. John did a great job direction us to the manatees and explaining what we were seeing.

Carolyn_B

Everything was so great what a fantastic staff they have. Our tour guides Austin and Rodney were fabulous. We saw manatees and a dolphin. They were both so knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions. Couldn’t have had a better time.

Being bumped by the Manatee. And that it was a mother and her calf. Given the opportunity would go again.

Amazing experience! Captain and guide were great! Spent time in the water with several manatees. One of the best experiences on a vacation ever!

Ryan and Gerry were great guides - friendly, knowledgeable and fun! The manatees were a little shy but we got to swim up close to a few. They are massive and adorable!
