A++++++++!! We had the most amazing time. We did the 6:30AM semi-private tour on 12/10/21. Our guides were John and Ryan and were fabulous. Watched a short, informative video about the do’s and don’ts regarding swimming with the manatees in the beginning. We were given wetsuits and all snorkel gear. Once on board our guides answered our questions and were really nice and kind. We had 6 in our group which was a nice number to have. Loved the smaller group. We first went to Three Sisters Springs which was so beautiful. We were the only ones out there since it was still early and while we didn’t see any manatees at 3 Sisters-it was still an amazing experience!! Crystal clear water, a bunch of fish and the sun shining though the trees made for a great experience. Next, we boarded the boat and went to another location where we did find a nice sized group of beautiful manatees! Again, since it was early, we were the only ones out there with the manatees and had a delightful experience. We spent a lot of time in the water with them and it really was a fun and amazing experience. Back on board there were dry towels and hot chocolate/coffee waiting for us. Days later we are still talking about just how fun this experience was and how we really enjoyed it all. Ryan took some great photos and we did buy the thumb drive because the photos and videos were so nice!! I can’t wait to share them with friends and family when we get back from vacation. There was a cute gift shop with manatee items, shirts, keychain, etc so don’t forget to pick up a little memento when you’re done! Free, ample parking. Clean restrooms. My husband and I truly had the best time and can’t wait to come back again! I highly recommend Plantation Adventure Center. A+++++ all the way.
