Amazing experience!!!! We ended up not seeing manatees but it was well worth the price regardless!!!! Honestly we are not the adventurous type and thought the paddle boards were beyond our abilities, but our guide Spence took the time to make sure we were comfortable and they are right when they say beginners can do it! My son is 12 and we all had an amazing time seeing the beauty and all the wildlife. Spence was amazing & was able to answer all our questions. We will be back next year!
