    The cruise was enjoyable, because the area in itself is beautiful. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable; we appreciated that she took care around the manatees and was mindful of their welfare. The viewing cruise seems much better than swimming experiences in that respect. We knew that it was not the season for many manatees, but we did see one close up. The swimming cruises seem to surround the manatees and make it impossible for other vessels to see them. The water at this time of year was also partly clear, so we could really only see an outline except when the manatees surface briefly.

    We had an incredible time! The staff was extremely kind and attentive, especially Avery! Captain Marty was fabulous and Faith, our dive instructor, was outstanding. I highly recommend using this company to have a amazing manatee experience.
