Our boat captain Alex was the best! He made us feel safe and made sure we saw manatees. Zach our guide was beyond fabulous- made sure we followed rules but still made it fun. We saw several manatees, but the mama and her baby were the best. The baby was the hit of the trip, she/he got close but not too close, just be very still and they will just swim right next to you. What a treat!! Recommend it highly. Get in the water- donāt stay on the boat- you will be sorry you missed out on an adventure. The wet suits were a bonus- absolutely kept you warm. Donāt be afraid of the cold water, a little chilly at first, but you warm up rapidly. We brought our 17 year old grandson and he was thrilled too, and teenagers are hard to excite. It was a great day!
