It is a great experience swimming with manatees plus treasure hunting. My boys loved. Dispite the weather, we had fun. It was a quite an amazing experience seeing manatees up close and to sum it up, my boys "found" their treasure under the the springs. Our captains, Caleb & Al were knowledgeable, caring, flexible, and excellent communication. I would come back to get the tour again and recommend it to friends.

Captain Al & Caleb were amazing! They took us right to the manatees and were super respectful of the wildlife. They were great with my kids, helping them maneuver around the water without disturbing the manatees and preparing treasure chests for them to find. Loved that they sent a video of highlights the next day.

We would love to give a 5 ⭐ review; however, we haven't received our pictures/ videos from the tour. Overall, we enjoyed our time despite the weather. Wish we could have received our pictures/ videos to show friends & family.

Extremely knowledgeable guides who went the extra mile to show us the area. They were wonderful with our daughter and the treasure chest was a bonus she still talks about.

Great experience from start to finish. Literally from the time the phone call to book began I knew we picked the right place, personable, professional and a genuine passion for the service they are providing. I would highly recommend Captain Al and the services at Scallop Adventures. Best part of Tour was the Treasure chest. The in water guide Sandy placed the little chests in the water with out or 2 girls knowing and helped them find them , the girls were so excited to open them . they were filled with coins and a gemstone. Great way to end the tour
