We had a fantastic time with Tom & Jose, they took the time, to show us a great time, swimming with the Manatee's on Kings bay! My dear friends came down for 10 days and we all had a blast! I highly recommend this tour.

We did the early swim the manatees followed by the long air boat ride tour. John B and JJ did our manatee tour and it was awesome. JJ took the pictures which I highly recommend purchasing. Tommy was our air boat guide and it was also awesome. All the folks at RV are helpful and very friendly.

Thank you so much for leaving this awesome feedback, this is a super compliment and it means so much! John and JJ are truly two of the best guides out there and there's no better way to wrap up a manatee adventure than to take an air boat afterwards! We hope you get the chance to come back and visit us again, until then, the whole crew wishes you peace, love and manatees!

From start to finish, this experience was phenomenal. I walked in the door and instantly felt welcome - the staff is GREAT! This was my first time snorkeling, as well, and the team did an excellent job providing instruction and making our tour comfortable. Emerson and Jose were A-MA-ZING!!! Their passion for the manatees is SO evident, and they added so much fun to the experience. I can't WAIT to do this again!
