I recommend this excursion to everyone! A short Paddleboard row to the manatee habitat, where they literally push their noses onto your board, and they swim under you and all around you. Ned is the excursion leader, and he couldn’t have made it a better experience. He is friendly, helpful, very accommodating, and he wants you to have the best experience possible. He took us to the manatees, and even brought us to Blue Springs park to walk along the boardwalk, where we saw all kinds of fish and even alligators. Absolutely loved this excursion!
