Ned and Jenna were outstanding guides. My family of 8 (ages 7 thru 43) had an incredible time. It was one of the favorite things we did on our Florida vacation and will certainly rebook with them on our next journey to the Sunshine State.

We were vacationing in FL and decided to have a family manatee excursion. Ned came highly recommended from family living in the area. We were blown away by his knowledge of the area and animals and how compassionate he is both as a business owner and how he treats his clients! Certainly a top notch outfit! And the manatees were so active! It was a great homeschool Lesson for sure! With love, NC Ritchies
