This place was fantastic! The 2 hosts that took us out (Michael and Theresa - ask for them!) were everything you could ask for. My wife and I took our 3 elementary kids here and they had an absolute blast. If you're reading this, book it.

Great trip! Your guid Faith was very knowledgeable and patient with us. Or captain JJ was funny and knowledgeable as well. We got to see several manatees up close. Would definitely recommend!

This trip was amazing. We swam up close with 5 different manatees. My only critique is the photos that were taken. They failed to get any that had both us and the manatees in it.
