What an incredible experience! Capt Wade and Guide Trish were so wonderful. We had an amazing experience and learned so much. It was incredibly fun to see Trish’s delight in sharing the manatee experience with us in such a safe way. They were both fabulous at ensuring we were respectful and careful with the manatee, while allowing us once in a lifetime access. Our manatee visitor was extremely friendly and sought us out for pats, belly rubs, and quiet/respectful interaction. These gentle giants deserve alllll of the protections to keep them safe. Absolutely incredible!
