Really nice facility and great people. My experience was not the best, yet I know exactly why... the season of the year. Manatees "winter" in this area, and (like human snowbirds) usually leave for the summer. I was there in June, and the manatee had left town! Our tour ended up finding ONE manatee mom and young one... along with six other tour boats. Result: Even though I got in the water, I was one of the few that did NOT see the critter. It would have been nice to be offered something like a free (or reduced rate) return visit - or something like that. I paid to swim with manatees...it ended up just being a swim Again, great reviews for Captain Dustin and others... just not the best experience (for me).

We stayed at the hotel from Friday-Sunday and booked the manatee tour for Saturday morning 10:30 trip to start. Our tour guides were Ross & Misty. They were both extremely patient , informative and just overall great! They took us to a fresh spring and found not 1 but 2 manatees for us to snorkel with. Summer is a tough time as they only have about 20 manatees vs winter when there is hundreds! We had such a great time we came back for another tour Sunday and this time did the semi-private and we asked for Ross and Misty again!! They did not disappoint we again were able to find a manatee and swim in the springs. Both were so patient with both my teenagers, Ross takes a ton of gopro videos and pics of your whole trip and then puts it on a zip drive for you at the end for a low cost. I recommend semi-private or private if you can swing its well worth it!! They provide towels, coffee, hot chocolate, water, snorkel gear and wet suits. Both guides are super knowledgeable and are more than happy to answer any questions!!

We had an awesome tour through the whole Bay this morning because none of the manatees really wanted to show up. But after an icredible swim over the beautiful springs captain Ross and Misty didn´t give up! They finally found two big Manatees and let this wonderful morning end with the highlight! We would definately love to come back in winter season and can highly recommend the adventure center! Thanks alot!!!
