It was phenomenal!
Shout out to our tour guides Carlos and Lindsay. They were extremely welcoming to me and my family as we turned our late selves up to the tour. They were both very warm and knowledgeable about manatee lifestyles and behaviors. We spent quite a lot of time with a couple of manatees.
We were so happy that we decided to come on this tour. Money very well spent!

James and Chris were amazing! Not only did we get to swim with the manatees but we also got to see a mother and her 2 week old calf! All this time, James was very respectful oder these tender giants and we never felt they were disturbed by our presence. We were made so welcome aboard our boat and Captain Chris made sure we had everything we needed from drinks to no fog spray for our goggles. They even took is to look for alligators and we dived to one of Chrystal River's springs. All in all we had a fantastic afternoon worth every dime. Thanks again, James and Chris for a truly wonderful time!!! Klaesner Family

This was honestly the best experience! Such a great company and tour group, all of the staff including office staff, tour guides and captains of the boats went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and experience seeing the Manatee’s.
Our tour guide Carlos and captains Chris and Troy were extremely knowledgable, super friendly and helpful throughout the whole tour. Could not recommend this company and their staff enough! We will hopefully be back one day to swim with the Manatee’s again 😊

This is a wonder trip, guides Captain Chris and underwater photographer James were excellent. Informative and entertaining. Great swimming with manatees and James made sure he got all people on board in a picture with the manatee and her calf. Awesome experience, be ready for cold water!!!! Wetsuit helps, water is constant 72 degrees year round.
