The guide was awesome! She was entertaining and full of knowledge, plus her ability to spot wildlife was impressive. When she did spot wildlife, she knew what to share about it. So willing to take time and allow folks to see the wildlife and take pics. It’s a great way to see the river and enjoy it. The park is wonderful too. A boardwalk allowed you to walk along a bay and view the hundreds of manatees spending time there. An old home place is on-site to read about the history or an original family to the area. The snack shack had a small selection of eats- we had a turkey sandwich that was good. The one negative, or thing to know, Expect a long line to enter the park. We were in line 45 minutes. It was worth the wait!!

Great park! Awesome experience with the manatees! The boat tour focused on wildlife that were not manatees, but great guides and excellent experience.
