Perfect choice for our manatee tour!!!! - This was absolutely the highlight of our family vacation!!! There were many other companies that we could’ve chosen to do the manatee tour, but this was the best one! From the first phone call to reserve our reservation, they were professional, kind.. just awesome! Then we got there and checked in.. again super amazing! This was our first snorkeling tour. Mandy helped us with wetsuits, what to expect, all of it! Then we got to the boat, and Evan, our captain was also amazing! They explained everything and made us feel comfortable. They made sure we saw manatees up close, even got to see dolphins! Then we got pics to take home!!! What a treat!!! Don’t even question what company to use when taking manatee tours.. just use Nature’s Discovery!!!! Support a local business, you won’t regret it!!!!!! Thanks again Evan and Mandy! Looking forward to doing it again with them on our next Florida trip!!!!

Private Manatee’s trip - I recently embarked on this private manatee tour with my family, and it was a delightful experience! The tour was personalized, focusing on creating memories for our young kids. The tour being private allowed us to enjoy a tailored experience without the hustle and bustle of larger groups. It was just us, the serene waters, and the gentle manatees. Evan and Amanda were exceptional! They were not only knowledgeable about manatees but incredibly patient and engaging with our kids. They answered endless questions and ensured that the kids felt safe and excited throughout the trip.

Birthday tour - Jake and Hina were amazing! Very knowledgeable and easy going. Gave us the best experience we could’ve wanted. Will definitely return

Best Day Ever! - My family and I recently traveled to Florida to swim with the manatees. We decided to book with Nature’s Discovery because of the good reviews online. Captain Evan and Krystina didn’t disappoint! They were very knowledgeable (and teach people to respect the manatees and wildlife which we appreciate). They were very friendly, patient, and positive/cheerful. We booked a private tour which we highly recommend. Even if you don’t have six people, it’s worth the extra money. We were able to pack our own snacks and drinks. If we had had our dog with us, then they would have allowed us to take our dog on the private tour! Gotta love a dog friendly business! Evan and Krystina did a great job locating the manatees and jumping right in the water. Krystina stayed with the manatees the whole time so all we had to do was stay close to her and we had hours of up close encounters with the manatees, baby manatees, sleeping manatees, manatees that were eating (we could even hear them chewing their food under water), and swimming manatees. Krystina also managed to capture many amazing photos of my family and the manatees. It was nice not to have to worry about taking pictures during the tour because Krystina did it for us. We saw other manatee tour companies that just had their clients jump in the water and kind of watch as the manatees swam by. They also had large numbers of guests and it looked like the people were very crowded. We felt very fortunate to have booked with Nature’s Discovery because it was just our family and they found several manatees and stayed with them for long periods of time. Also, if the manatees left, Captain Evan had us get back in the boat so we could search for more. Other companies just anchored and waited for the manatees to arrive. We can’t recommend this company enough - we enjoyed Nature’s Discovery's tour so much that we booked another tour the next morning!

Best Tour We took in Florida - Everyone was fantastic! I can't reccomend this company enough for anybody wanting to swim with manatees in crystal river

Outstanding and educational private tour - Captain Jake is a personable and knowledgeable guide who showed us some terrific scenery; not to mention numerous manatees.

Magical Experience!! - My mom and I had a private tour with Hina and Jake and while there aren’t even words to fully describe how amazing this was, I can at least try by saying that I have never had an experience quite so fulfilling and magical in all my life! The manatees were beautiful, stunning to view in their natural habitat and even playful! Jake was so attentive to my mom’s needs when she was freezing cold (being dragged out into the water by me in cool, windy weather haha) and made sure she was comfortable the entire time, really going above and beyond to make her happy and warm. And Hina was not just knowledgeable and passionate about her work, but so kind, calm and sweet. I really felt as though she was an active part of our experience with us, not just a guide/photographer, and honestly it wouldn’t have been the same without her! She listened to the things that were important to us and really made our trip out with the manatees so personal and so incredibly special. And as if the tour could have been better, we even got to see a couple of dolphins hunting together on our way back! Literally a life changing experience and I am already planning my next trip back! Thank you so much Jake and Hina! Literally ❤️❤️

Manatees, please!! - Wow wow wow - what an amazing experience. Manatees are such docile and gentle creatures; beautiful to see them in their natural habitat. Also, Grace and Evan were A+ guides and took our the experience from Fun to Fantastic. Highly recommend.

A must-do Florida experience - We had the most amazing experience with Grace & Dylan on our Manatee swim. They were both really great guides, full of interesting information and helped us have an incredible, unique experience. It was the best thing we've ever done in Florida in 20 years of visiting here. Feeling really lucky to see these animals in their natural habitat.

Worth the wait !! - Manatee swimming has always been on my buckets list! Nature's discovery gave us the best experience from start of the tour to end of the tour. From the eduction aspect, to the experience itself. Getting to take a swim in the springs was really neat too. Dylan and Grace are both amazing. Thank you both so much!
