This was the second time we did this: last was 2 years ago. This was an outstanding experience! Captains John and Jason were terrific hosts. We were a bit nervous because it was pretty cold (for Florida) at about 60 (3/14/18) but their wetsuits were the thicker 5 mm which were super warm and helped with flotation so we did not need additional flotation. They reassured us that cold was better for Manatee viewing and they were spot on. We saw a large group with a baby that kept coming up to us and nudging playfully into the swimmers. Captain John was in the water and got great video. He was very helpful making sure we followed the proper rules for interacting with these gentle giants (passive viewing). Highly recommended!!

We had such a great time on this adventure! Captain Lance and Captain Memphis did a wonderful job, very personable and did the best they could to get us close to the manatees. Which was up close and personal!!! So glad we did this!!

Captain Lance is one of the most outstanding guides anyone could ask for. His knowledge from diving all over the world is on full display on his manatee tours. Lance and Memphis make a great tandem and we are lucky to have them on our team. The manatee help make our Captains shine as well. Thank you for your review!!

Captain Lance and Memphis made the tour most enjoyable. They succeeded in their mission in finding the right spot to swim and see the manatees and making sure everyone on the tour had the experience to see these magnificent creatures up close. Plus, our group learned our wetsuits were a thicker gauge than what other tour centers offer which means we stayed warmer longer...and that is most important when it is not summer weather/water yet! Highly recommend the Adventure Center at the Plantation

Thank you for the review. We feel the 5mm wet suits make a big difference. They allow you to float with out water noodle and keeps you warmer longer. Thank you for such nice words. Thank You
