Swim with Manatees Adventure

This experience was amazing! Our guide Jake and boat captain Cooper made it fun and entertaining! Watching a mother and child manatee up close was something we will never forget.

Swimming with the manatees was quite possibly the best experience I’ve ever had. I came across this fun idea when I was searching for things to do on my birthday. From the reviews, this activity came highly recommended, so I booked it. Captains Mark and Jake were so wonderful and knowledgeable on the area. They really make you and, most importantly, the manatees feel comfortable. We saw three manatees, including a nursing calf. We stayed with this herd for about an hour until it was time to move on. During that hour we were able to come face to face with the manatees and observe them in their environment. They were so calm, gentle, and really just kept to themselves. During our time with the manatees, the captains took pictures and videos, which can be purchased at the end of the tour (an amazing memory to have)! Since the tour, I have told everyone about this amazing experience and shown them all the pictures that were taken. In all, this was such an intriguing and great experience. I can’t wait to do it again!

We went in October, so most of the Manatees hadn’t come to the area, but our guides were knowledgeable and still found a few for us to swim near. The Manatees are so gentle and it was a pleasure to be able to swim with them. Would definitely recommend!

This was such a great experience. It didn’t seem touristy, it was very educational about manatees and their disappearing habitat. These tours are important for protecting the animals and maintaining there underwater grasslands. It’s also so fun , they are such wonderful curious creatures that come right up to you, I had a baby manatee swim right up and look me in the eyes inches from my face.

Great customer service! The crew on the boat and behind the counter were top notch. We would go back

The most memorable part of the experience was seeing the manatees come up for air right in front of you!! They were right in front of your mask and you could see the grass still hanging out of their mouths and hear their little breaths. It was amazing!!

Amazing experience. So glad the boat let us go because viator over booked. Take an underwater camera. The guide's broke, so we didn't get any photos. I'll remember this forever!

We travel on river for a long time to find them finally they find a spot where they were a few so we can see them was amazing!!!

Bring up close and personal with the manatee was breath taking. Our guide Cory was very calm and knew how to handle being in the water with them And how to help the ones who were nervous. This is a trip I’ll never forget.

We saw 5-6 manatees, swimming, feeding, and coming to the surface to breathe. It was magical to watch these creatures in their Natural habitat. Jake was a fantastic guide in the water, working hard to ensure everyone got a good look. Visiting the three sisters springs at the end was icing on the cake.
