My husband and I went on a semi-private manatee adventure yesterday. It did not disappoint! Every part of the experience was wonderful, including the entire staff being so warm and welcoming! There were private and clean areas provided to change in and out of your wetsuit, and I also would like to add that I appreciated the COVID precautions and the way that the equipment was cleaned and sanitized before and after each trip. It was not super warm, so we really appreciated the high-quality wetsuits, covered area on the boat, the complimentary towels, and the coffee/ hot chocolate provided as part of the trip. Captain John Spann and Captain Jeff were awesome! John was a very calm and patient guide, and seemed to have great knowledge of the area as well as of the animals. He literally took me by the hand and guided me around to all of the spots where the manatees were. The highlight was when a juvenile manatee swam up to me, looked me in the eyes, and then nuzzled me sweetly before swimming off. As a huge bonus, just as our return trip back to the docks started, three dolphins showed up hunting mullet. I cannot say enough good things about this experience. We are so truly grateful that we chose the Plantation for the manatee tour.
