If you want someone who is knowledgeable, safety conscious, thorough, and just all around enjoyable, then Drake is the guide you want. We had an amazing time…saw Manatee, Alligators, baby gators, numerous fish and birds and Drake knew them all - plus their usual hangout areas. We definitely didn’t want some commercialized, canned tour, and we were not disappointed with our choice. This was the highlight of our week long trip. We will most definitely be back!

Manatee's within 3 minutes of hitting the water! This business took away the cookie cutter commercial processing you see with so many tours and kept it all about nature and the experience! Our guide was knowledgable and experienced on every aspect of the tour and knew the waterways extremely well. Personable and professional throughout! Highly recommended if you want a more direct, less commercialized encounter with nature while visiting the Tampa Bay area.

The tour was really amazing with Drake. He knows all the birds and fishes and he can tell you so many things about the area. We saw a lot of beautiful corners and of course manatees :) we jumped also into the water in an area which looked like a lagoon. Thanks for that amazing day Drake.
