We had an amazing time! Captain Randy was just great and so helpful. We were really lucky to swim with so many manatees.

They are very organized, friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time and plenty of it swimming with and viewing around a dozen manatees. I would advise taking the first boat out, as it starts to get crowded with other swimmers as well as kayakers. The swim groups are good about sharing the same spaces and rotating with the other companies who also have swimmers.

We had a great time. The place is easy to find, plenty of parking and we were able to find the captain easily. The boat was in great shape and comfortable. The captain was a fountain of knowledge of the manatees and the local area. I really liked how he mixed in his experience in growing up in the area with the tour, it gave it a nice personal perspective. On top of all this we got to see a good number of manatees and some were very close to the boat and the captain did a marvelous job in piloting the boat and taking great care not only when we were in visual range of a manatee but during the entire trip. This is one of the tours that I’ll take family on when they come down for a visit!

Just wanted to say how amazing of a time we had on your tour. Our Captain was awesome and did a wonderful job touring our group around and educating us about the manatees and other wildlife. He put us on to some great spots where we were able to swim with the manatees and also took the time to locate a newborn calf and mother for us to watch from the boat. I highly recommend your business and had a great experience! Thank you so much!

We saw several on our tour and we went the end of April. We saw them from the boat and our guide was able to get is close enough to swim alongside 4 or 5 of them. They were close enough that they brushed against us as they swam past.
