We had a great experience with Captain Wade and guide Trish! Our family of 5, (3 children age 10 and under) was taken very well care of and they were VERY patient with our first time snorkelers. They found a few manatees away from the group for us to observe as to not disturb more experienced snorkelers - a win-win for everyone! They gave the first time snorkelers some tips and even though it was the off-season for the manatees, they made sure we had a great time. I would book with them again in a heartbeat! Plus the photo package was very reasonable and it allowed me to enjoy the experience, help my children and know the moment would still be captured!

We went in a small group just us and 1 other couple. We got to see 4 or 5 adult manatees and 2 babies. It was a great experience. The captain and guide were super informative. Our guide even gave us all a scallop shell that he found when we were out.

We did the 6am Manatee Swim with Trish and Wade. It was an amazing experience. Highly recommended. The falls swim at the end was so cool.
