Captain Mike was simply the best Captain you could ask for, he knew what he was doing and made the ride very enjoyable. Our In-water Captain was Dustin and you could not ask for a better tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and respectful, he knew so much of the area and could answer any questions, but he also knew where the BEST spots were and when to be there! They both exceeded expectations, well worth the money. If you go YOU MUST GET MR. MIKE AND DUSTIN, THEY ARE SIMPLY THE BEST!

TIP: Bring hand warmers for when you get out of the warm water! When we headed out to swim it was 38 degrees. The wetsuit, coupled with the warm 72 degree water, made for a perfect swim. Just wished I had hand warmers when we got back into the boat and headed back to the shop-my feet and hands were cold-LOL. Nevertheless, I’d do this again and again. We had the best time!! Our boat captain Mike and guide Courtney were kind and informative- they treated us like our trip was their trip. It wasn’t some boring scripted speech. Courtney did a fantastic job capturing nice photos and video of our swim!! She even let me use her gloves to keep warm once back on the boat, she’s a doll! Courtney was intentional in ensuring each of us were enjoying ourselves. She encouraged and interacted with us in the water. Clearly it made her happy to see us enjoying ourselves. Please please TIP the guides & captain just as you do when you receive service from wait staff, massage therapists, etc. Swimming with manatee has been on my bucket list for about 5 years - this trip did not disappoint. We took the 7 am trip and although some manatee were sleeping/resting there were plenty others active. I especially enjoyed two small ones who wanted to play a lot. Oh, it was so beautiful and calm. Finally, the shop staff were accommodating, patient, and kind. They too contributed to an overall wonderful experience. P.S. We went to The Crab Plant Seafood Restaurant. Definitely worth a return visit - I had lightly blackened red snapper and it too did not disappoint.

Captain Loupy & Mermaid Jessica were amazing! Because the gulf temps warmed up we were told there could have been less manatees in the springs, but that did not stop us from seeing these magnificent creatures. We went to Three Sisters Springs and luckily the spring had just opened so we were the first to go through! It was amazing! The water was crystal clear in the beginning but got more murky as swimmers kicked up debris. After seeing the other pontoons and tours we were so glad to have chose Plantation Adventure Center’s 7 am tour. The 5 mm wetsuit allows you to float without a noodle. Hope to return again one day!
