Had a great time with Capt John. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions, pointed out some of the wildlife we saw, and also entertained us with a few jokes and puns. We went to a couple of areas where the manatees usually congregate but they didn't seem to wanna be seen. We did take the early morning tour so I'm sure that had something to do with the scarcity of the manatees. It's nature, what are you going to do. But Capt John was very persistent, and as we circled back to where we started we spotted some bubbles at the surface. As we got closer this big guy came right up to our boat, surfaced twice, let us take some pictures for a few and then went about his business. It was a great moment, definitely worth the wait.

The whole tour was a bunch of fun! John our captain was so knowledgeable, super kind, and funny. Everyone enjoyed seeing the gentle manatees especially my kids who can't wait to tell their school friends. Definitely something to do when in Naples!

Pretty early into our tour, Captain Andrew (who is a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide)pointed us toward what he thought was 2 manatees. When we got close, we realized there were easily 8-10 manatees feeding n hanging out. We stayed there for quite Some time, while the manatees swam around us, came up to the boat several times to say hello to Bella the beautiful wonder dog who obviously loves the manatees as well. We watched them eat, play, and even dive head first to show us a tail! It was a truly amazing experience we will never forget! We also saw an alligator, and enjoyed a really nice ride down the canal. We cannot say enough about Captain Andrew and first mate Bella!
