With Go Local, we knew we were with a local business. You go to the pier where there is a hive of activity. We had a private pontoon boat for the five of us. with a canopy. Walter, the captain, and Derrick the manatee guide were great with the kids. They were the best at prepping us and getting us to a mom and her nursing baby. There was no crowd and we swam with the gentle pair for a while. The mom. Knew Derrick and came up to him. It was an encounter to remember.
The boat gave us room to move around and see all directions. We even felt comfortable with a one year old aboard.
We also loved swimming and exploring the springs under water, later the wildlife refuge. It was a fantastic experience. The next morning dozens of pictures showed up in our inbox.
We loved the whole experience.
