This is a must do!!! A unique experience.. we will do this again. A baby manatee played with me and grabbed my hand. It was very exciting. This will be on my vacation list to do again. Loved it

Unfortunately the water where the manatees were was so murky that you coudn't see more than 2 feet in front of you. It was a waste. I wish we went on a different day. Also everyone started crowidning around the manatee and screaming like they were terrified.

This time a year is the busy manatee season, and usually the water conditions in the springs are good and clear. Sorry to hear you had other swimmers around not following recommendations to stay calm. I personally like to go on the morning swims, as usually less people are in the water. We hope you give it another try sometime soon.
