We had a wonderful time with Dan and Captain Larry! They were professional, friendly and showed a wholehearted commitment in the well being of us AND the manatees. Especially if animals are involved, it is crucial, that the rights and the well being of the animals is respected. If you would like to see Manatees, take your tour with Dan and Larry

Our family of 10 (including 12, 4 & 3 year old grandkids) had a wonderful time on the boat and swimming with the manatees. We learned a lot about the wildlife around the area and about the manatees.

one If the busiest and warmest days of season so not many manatees but what we did see was worth it. Captain hailey was great and very knowledgeable. Don was a great guide and took lots of pictures for us to take home. Highly recommended

Thank you so much for the lovely review! As you mention,when it is warm out we don't see nearly the number of manatees that are in Kings Bay when it is cold. However most people find as you did, that the manatees are almost magical. Looking into their wise eyes, seeing them drift along, or even eating or sleeping, they just are so peaceful that they remind us why nature is precious and should be protected. We are so happy that you had a good time, and enjoyed the tour with Hailey and Don. Thank you for choosing us for your tour, and for the wonderful review!
