This was a great experience! I went with my mother as a mother's day present, and we both had a wonderful time. The captain and dive master were friendly, knowledgeable, and knew exactly where to look for manatees and other wildlife. They found multiple manatees for us to swim with, even though it was the "off season" for manatees in Florida. I would definitely do this again!

Captain Ross and Tim were fantastic guides. They were very polite and friendly. They were not in a rush and gave every guest a chance to have the best experience with snorkeling and observing the manatees. I would highly recommend this company and these two guys to my family and friends.

Corey and Christian were awesome! They took us to manatees that were resting and not already surrounded by other people so we could see them up close. They were informative and helpful to everyone on the tour.

The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. There were five of us in the group that included a six year old. Super accommodating, we couldn’t ask for better captains. Then there was Charlie, back at the store. He was over the top, filled with kindness! Highly recommend!

Corey and Christian made sure are experience was amazing. Corey was amazing with first time snorkelers. Having them as our captains made the experience even better. We went on the manatees “off season” but they made sure to find us a spot were we got to swim with 10/15. We plan on coming back every time we come to Florida. This was the best experience of our Fl trip.
