New Years Manatee Adventure - Crazy Amazing Experience!!! We arrived during a cold front and it was 38 degrees when we left for our early morning manatee experience. The cold prompted the manatee to come to Kings Bay where the water is 72 degrees and they can stay warmer. We got in the water and assumed the passive observer float position and we were soon surrounded by manatee. They were under us, beside us and doing barrel rolls for us. There were at least 100 manatee in the general area and it was a blessing and a joy to float with these gentle giants! Thank you to our Guide Ross and Boat Captain.

Manatee swim and more! - Our guides Captain “King” Jake and Captain Glenn the alligator wrestler were fabulous! They knew right where to go to swim with manatee. They shared great stories and taught us so much about manatee and the dolphins that surprised us as we were on our way back. Loved the experience. We will be going back!

Great tour company - Dani and Glen were fantastic guides. They took us in a small group and made sure we each got time individually to get up close with the manatees. They were super informative and I learned a lot about manatees. 100% would not hesitate to book again with them.

Bucket List Item checked off the list - John did an amazing job as our guide. I was a bit nervous in the water, but he continually made sure I was okay. We saw so many manatees. It was awesome. This was a spur of the moment decision on our part. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. It was a great way to start the day. A bucket list item for sure. Thank you John and Glenn for making it a very special trip!!

Kayak tour - We did a 3 hour guided kayak tour. The company was easy to work with, and even accommodated a change due to weather. The equipment was clean and easy to use, and our guide Melanie was friendly and provided a lot of fun information.

Great way to spend a day! - The manatee paddle experience was amazing. You get to see them up close and personal. We had to change due to weather and we were able to get a spot the next day. Fantastic experience.

Book them! - Captain Glenn was great! Friendly, hospitality was excellent. Wonderful experience and loved it so much, booked for a repeat tour on our vacation. Tour guides Ross and John were patient, knowledgeable, and took the perfect pictures and videos to capture our special experience. Great with children, son 7yr decided he wanted to watch from the boat, and this was no problem for the captain! Boat was covered, had hot chocolate, coffee, and even special treats. If you're trying to choose between tours, go with paddletail adventures or manatee swim center with the port hotel and marina (they are two separate locations by the same company and staff), you won't be disappointed.
