I took my parents and my best friend to see the manatees with our guide Guy! Guy was absolutely AMAZING so knowledgeable of so many birds, reptiles, mammals. Made learning fun for us. He went above and BEYOND. Letting my mom borrow his jacket bc she was cold and being so patient with our group when we were sidetracked by the animals. Lol. Absolutely recommend this business and Guy as your guide.

Gina was an amazing tour guide, I feel like the manatees knew her voice. You could tell she loved her job, and LOVED being able to share her knowledge and love for the manatees, and the area with thr group.
