Great Experience for Family with teens! - Aiden and Abby were great captains. Abby helped us get close to the manatees. Aiden did an excellent job driving and finding the manatees for us to get in the water to get a closer look. We would definitely do this guided tour again! Very family friendly. Our teenagers really enjoyed this experience.

Abby was amazing and the driver who it was his first day back was very kind and even made us coffee after - We searched until we successfully found a good spot which took a few minutes longer but was well worth the wait

Excellent experience!! - Abby and Aidan are excellent captains/guides! They are extremely knowledgeable and capably answered all our questions on many topics, including details about the behavior and physiology of manatees, ecology and history of the bay, local real estate, and much more. They were very accommodating of our interests and sensitive to the needs of our young children. They have insider knowledge about the area, one as a lifetime resident, which we particularly appreciated. We had three generations of family on our tour and everyone had a great time, was thoroughly entertained and learned so much about manatees and other creatures of the bay. Thank you both for a wonderful experience.
