What sets this tour aside from any other tour is their attention to details. Hot chocolate on the ride home and getting out of the cold water was amazing! It was also key that our guide took photos for us and they gave us the photos afterwards. We were able to enjoy the experience instead of having to try and record it. We were able to see some manatee. And afterwords they took us on an incredible tour to see a huge natural spring with about 60 snook and watch sunset from the boat. Captain Tom and our tour guide Mika made sure we all had a great time, including our children (5, 9, and 14 years old). They also have a large quantity of quality wetsuits and de- fogger spray for our masks.

I don’t know where to begin. Interacting with manatees in the wild has been a dream for over half my life. Tyler, (our guide), Captain Alex and Megan made that dream come true. This is truly a top- notch, professional, yet fun company. Everyone was friendly and informative. The location, van and boat were very clean. Tyler took amazing photos of our trip. You can tell they take pride in not only making sure their guests have a great experience, but also in taking care of the manatees and environment.
