Had an amazing time. Everything was perfect even the weather. Astrid was the best, a pleasure to talk to, super nice, well informed and really fun. We had a blast. Snake river was our favorite part we visited. Would do again next time we are here. Thanks so much.

Astrid our guide was great, so personalble and knowlegable about the animals and plantlife. We spent the afternoon together and she took LOT's of photo's! This was the highlite of our trip and will have treasured memories to look back on! We finally saw Manatee's, many wild birds, some very rare. Alligators gallore, but very doucile and beautiful, that picture of the 14' one will go on our wall. We have stories to tell our friends and family and highly recommend this tour. Astrid you rock! Did I mention the turtles?

Amazing adventure!! Orlando Manatee Encounters should not be missed on your trip to Orlando. So many birds, alligators, turtles, and manatees!!! Astrid was phenomenal. She pointed out so many animals that we would have missed, and shared so much Information. She also took several pictures and sent them to us the next day. Great trip!!
