Wendy and Vince were the best guides! They made sure we knew how to safely observe the manatees without disturbing them. Wendy took a lot of great pictures which we bought afterwards. I will bring more of my friends back here for sure!

Captain Jim and Dakota were great hosts. They were very knowledgable about the area and the wildlife. They provided us a great, up close experience while also being caring and respectful of the manatees and their wellbeing. The manatees touched at least two people in our group, so we were really right there next to them. Dakota also took pictures of the outing! They put them on a little manatee USB drive that we got to take home with us; it also included some of the "best of" photos from past trips. The cheesy jokes and buddy-humor between Jim and Dakota also made for a lighthearted and enjoyable time. Relaxing, fun, safe, comfortable, beautiful. Have already recommended these guys to family members who want to come for a visit. Thanks guys!

Thank you very much for the very kind review, and for the recommendations! That is the absolute best praise that we receive when we have friends, family members and repeat guests! We will pass along your wonderful comments to both Dakota and Jim ! Dakota loves knowing his cheese/Dad jokes are appreciated. Your party must have been very quiet and calm in the water. The manatees that are curious aren't shy, but it takes a patient, quiet person to get them to be comfortable enough to come up and make friends. When they do, it is a magical experience. We truly appreciate you taking the time to write a review for us.
