We were taken out by Captains Jon and Bob and honestly we could not have asked for better guides for this beautiful experience. They were both extremely knowledgeable about the manatees and the other wildlife as well as the area. Jon was so incredibly patient and nice with our kids out on the water showing them and us how to interact respectfully with these beautiful animals. Because of this we were able to have several interactions with the manatees that made the most memorable experience. This was truly an experience of a lifetime for all of us. The water was not cold at all and the wetsuits made it very comfortable. The hot chocolate and coffee was a very nice touch at the end! One of the reasons we went with this company amongst the amazing reviews was that this company offered rates for both swimmers and non-swimmers to go out together. This was great as 2 people in our group just wanted to view the manatees and not swim. Many other companies charged the same rate regardless if you swam or not. Next time we visit Florida we will be sure to come back to Plantation for another visit! Thank you Plantation for making our vacation and an experience our family will never forget!!

Captain Bob and John made swimming with the manatees a once in a lifetime experience. We went in December and the manatee count was incredible. I had more than 5 manatees come up to my face and play with me. I highly recommend this to anybody looking for a great experience with nature and wildlife.

Captain Ross and Captain Steve were determmoned to find us manatees and they succeeded! We went first to Three Sister and the tide was high, the water was too murky. We left and went to an area they called Magnolia. Once there, you would go only a minute or two without seeing a manatee. For nearly all our time there we were surrounded by large groups of at least 5 manatees. They were friendly and came right up to you for kisses (manatee boops) and belly runs.
