    A fabulous afternoon with Captain Gavin and Ava. We were lucky enough to see a mother and her calf. We also got to visit two springs. Hot chocolate afterwards was the perfect end to a lovely afternoon. Thank you

    Had an amazing experience with our tour yesterday. Despite it not being 'busy' season for manatees we spent over an hour with a mom and baby. They assured us they have over two hundred resident manatees that live there year round. It took about 10 minutes to find a mom and baby. If you know anything about observing wild animals, any moment with them is special. We got lots of videos and pictures and never felt rushed. Our guide crystal made sure each one of us got an up close look at the front and back of the manatee while being respectful of such a gorgeous creatures. We would highly recommend this your anytime of the year.
