We had a great trip with Captain John, Captain Misty and Mo on this semi-private trip. We went the day before the manatee sanctuary buoys went up, not sure how that would compare in season. They were great at spotting manatees before we went too far, and made sure that we all had an opportunity to get as close as allowed to these magnificent creatures. The boat was comfortable, and the hot beverages were a treat on a cool morning. Swimming in Three Sisters Springs was beautiful! I would recommend this trip to anyone. If you can afford the semi-private trip (max of 6), I would highly recommend it. We saw the large group that followed us, and the experience might not have been as enjoyable with that many people, so the semi-private was great value!

Did the semi private tour with captain Ed and Memphis yesterday. Ed is ex Coast Guard and knows his stuff. Highly recommend you the semi private with Ed as you will each be treated to personal attention that is difficult with larger groups.

I booked a three hour manatee swimming experience for my family with Plantation Adventure Centre. We stayed at the hotel overnight so it was easy to get to the dock for our tour. Captain Dustin and Memphis took great care of us and we had a wonderful three hours although at the time it only seemed like only an hour as we were so absorbed in swimming with the manatees. What an experience to be in the water with these majestic creatures. My daughter of 32 was almost in tears with the thrill of it. Grandchildren loved them so much we had to stop by the gift shop to buy some cuddly toys. Youngsters need to be comfortable with a snorkel and mask to get the most out of the trip. The towels, coffee and hot chocolate were very welcome after our swims. This is an experience you must do in your lifetime
