We went on a few manatee tours last year with this company and came back this year to do it again and could not have been more pleased! As last year, we were given a 5mm wetsuit (other companies only do 3mm which is not as warm) and taken to a couple different locations to see manatees. Videos and pictures were taken by Captain Ed which were available for purchase (and were incredible!) and we were also allowed to bring our own go pro (so we had plenty to choose from!) and ended up doing both. After our tour we got back on the boat and were greeted with warm water on our backs from Captain Bob (which was amazing) as well as hot coffee and hot chocolate to drink for the drive back. While all the captains are incredible with this company, we requested Captain Ed since we went with him last year and had an amazing time. This year was just as fun if not even better! He does an amazing job of capturing pictures and videos of us with the manatees and is incredibly friendly and personable. His passion for manatees and making sure we are able to see and swim with them is incredible. Our captain Bob was also incredible and we ended up requesting him for our next tour as well. He was such a pleasure to be around and made sure we were more than comfortable on our way to and from the swimming locations. EVERYONE we encountered during our stay and 3 manatee tours were incredible and I HIGHLY recommend this company. We will be back next year to do the same!! I love manatees!! :)

Just an overall great experience. Got the up close version of swimming with the manatees-we came back to Florida specifically to interact with the manatee and the trip did not disappoint. Captain Ed/Bob provided some good instruction on what to-do and what not-to-do when we got in the water. Got us outfitted with gear and got us up close with the manatees with in minutes of getting in the water. There was constant physical contact with the manatees for over an hour. Captain Ed/Bob made it "money well spent"-and great photography made buying the video a no brainer.
