Beautiful excursion to see nature, manatees and dolphins with friends. We did not see a lot of manatees, but it’s OK. Everything else was so nice.

Chris guided us through a relaxing and informative tour. He was a wealth of knowledge about the area and the wildlife that lives there. It was thrilling to see all the manatees, and I was able to get a few awesome pictures. I will definitely be back!
