While we went late in the season for Manatee, we saw a dozen or so. Our guide Gina was great, tailored the trip to our kayaking ability and ensured we saw not only the manatee but alligators and all kinds of birds. Gina was very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife, highly recommend her as a guide!

Gina was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and fun! We saw several manatees (some very close). We also saw alligators, a variety of birds, turtles and some blue herons in their nests. Very well worth the trip!

We had an incredible time kayaking with Bill as our guide! We were hoping to see a manatee but we were there a little too early in the season and it was far too warm still. Nevertheless, it was worth every penny - the kayaks were the most comfortable I've ever been in and the scenery was spectacular. Bill made sure we were all doing well on our kayaks, pointed out wildlife, and answered many of my questions about the vegetation. We will be back to do it again! Thank you, Bill! - Ana Maria
