Best tour I could've asked for. - Carlos and Chris were exceptional, informative, funny, and gave us an exceptional tour around the bay. We were able to find some manatees and had an extremely enjoyable time.

Carlos and Chris the ultimate tour duo! - We had crew member Carlos and Captain Chris and it was absolutely fantastic. Both workers were respectful and friendly. We came during warm weather but we were still able to see 3 manatees including a baby. We also got to explore the waters and enjoy th3 beautiful weather. The gift ship had such cute souvenirs and the staff was so great! I highly recommend.

The most amazing way to see manatees! - The most incredible experience ever. Captain Wade and Trish were seriously so amazing and made sure we were well looked after. They were so informative and made sure we knew how to act around the manatees and what to do. Cannot thank them enough! Would 100% come back.

Manatee Swim June 2024 - Shield and Chris were amazing. Found Manatees right away and we were in the water with them the majority of the tour. Will definitely be going back and my whole family recommends this tour.
