Julie was an awesome guide. She is very knowledgeable about the wildlife as well as the local history. We were fortunate enough to see several dolphins and a herd of manatees! She explained that the manatees were mating and it was so cool to see the 1,000 pound creatures breach out of the water! I was concerned whether this would be too strenuous for me, but it wasn’t too difficult.
