This was the best part of our vacation, I am so glad that we booked the tour at the refuge (9am tour)! Our tour guide, Jenny, was amazing!!!! She was patient, SO friendly, and very knowledgeable. We went not knowing if we’d even see one manatee and we saw at least 50. We will definitely be back next summer and will definitely be asking for Jenny as our guide!

Aloha! Thank you for such an awesome review! You described the lovely Jenny to a T, and we are thrilled to hear that this was the best part of your vacation! And the manatees have surely been fun to experience(and plentiful) at the refuge this year. We are excited to have you come and see us again!!

Jenny was our guide accompanied by Meghan. They were so calm and knowledgeable. We were a group of three adults and three teens. We saw soooooo many manatees which were very frisky due to it being mating season. We then moved on to an area of mangroves hoping to see alligators but while we didn’t see any alligators we did see more manatees. We then moved towards more open water where we could observe a pod of dolphins. We also saw tiny jellyfish like creatures and could even fish them out of the water with nets…and returned them again, unharmed. Meghan took photos of our group and airdropped them to us at the end. Probably the best kayaking tour we have ever done.
