Amazing! There is no other way to describe our trip! We had Captain Irish Dave & Chip as our guides. My best friend and I have swam with five manatees 4 times, different places, and this was hands down the most organized, knowledgeable, and enjoyable trip we’ve had yet. I’m upset this is our first time using them! We had a guide who swam with us!!!! Never had that before, he was actually able to assist us, not just a person standing in a boat telling us where to look.
It was cold, perfect manatee weather, not perfect South Florida girl weather. We get back on the boat and they have a HEATER! AND HOT COCOA, really good hot cocoa! It was very enjoyable and having chip in the water with us was something I never thought we needed. Thanks River Ventures! You will be seeing us again soon!
