We had an awesome experience! I cannot see myself trying another company other than this one. Captain Wade and Trisha gave us a wonderful experience swimming with the manatees. We had 6 people in our group with 4 teenagers and they really took there time to give us the best possible experience. We saw many Manatees and we were able to explore the natural springs..Thanks again for the wonderful lifetime memories!

Trish and Wade took us out on the boat and we had an amazing time. It was very special swimming with the manatees in such clear water. After swimming, we went snorkeling in a different part of the river and took a short boat tour. The facilitators of the trip were kind and knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend this group.
