The Manatee encounter was an awesome adventure in wildlife viewing. Bill, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the birds and helped us learn to identify some of them. From the time we hit the water we were watching manatees, alligators, eagles, and lots of other birds. I would do this trip again. I am already planning to do other trips with Adventures in Florida.

Never thought i would be able to experience manatees up close like that. Truly an amazing experience and even got to witness the manatee research team capture one within the protected zone. Astrid was an exceptional guide whos enthusiasm matched our own as we got to experience an interaction with these magical creatures!. Loved it!
