Wonderful boat cruise. We saw many manatee and learned a lot about them. We also got to know the area so we could take our kayaks out right after the trip and paddle with the manatee. Thanks for the great introduction to the area. Next time we will do the swim trip with you.

Great tour guide; really knew his stuff, and pointed out where to look. Kept our attention even when there were no manatee in sight.

Cory was very knowledgeable about not only the manatees, but the river and it's ecosystem. We hope to come here again with our boys someday to go swimming with the manatees.
