We really enjoyed this amazing trip to view the manatees at Blue Spring, as well as alligators, birds and other wildlife. Astrid is a patient and informative guide. She took us right to the manatees two times during our excursion. Both times we saw lots of them at very close range. I would definitely recommend taking this trip, if you haven't already.

Our family of 5 did the afternoon 3 hour kayak tour with Astrid. Her knowledge of the area was wonderful. We would totally recommend doing this tour with Astrid.
