Fantastic day - Absolutely amazing karisma was an amazing guild, so friendly and welcoming and the guy who drove the boat was amazing with the knowledge he knew about manatees, ( forgot his name) just remember to take drinks with you as none are provided. We received our photos by email which was amazing would highly recommend.

Perfect experience! - We were able to swim with two manatees after a 3 minute boat ride! We swam for over 35 minutes with one of them! The guide and captain were both awesome!

Must-Do Tour for an Unforgettable Experience - Hina was an awesome guide and Jake was a great captain. My family and I booked their first morning tour and ended up being the only passengers on board as well as the only boat in the area where we were able to swim with a manatee. Took us a bit of time to find one but once we did, we were able to swim alongside her for a good while. The free photos are a big plus and nice way to stamp an unforgettable experience.

Wonderful experience & great photos - We had a great experience out with Charisma and Dillan today! We had lots of time in the water with a mom and calf pair, were able to explore some of the springs around the area, and had great conversation about manatees with Capt and guide on the way back. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on this trip so it was laid back and able to go at our pace. All of the photos were such an appreciated bonus! They took about 30 photos of us and the manatees and were great quality, sent to our email the same day and included at no charge. Highly recommend...thanks for a great day! We'll be back!

A Must Do! - I read reviews and this place didn't disappoint. Jaden and Jake were fantastic guides. Full of knowledge, helpful, and made sure all in our group were comfortable and got to see manatees. We saw a mom and a baby and large sleeping one. The pictures were a fantastic bonus! Wetsuits and snorkel gear were provided.
