Plantation Adventure Center and Manatee Tours

Leigh Ann Speake

My 13 year old son and I absolutely loved this tour. We signed up for a small group tour in early May, and it was wonderful. Our boat driver and diver were both knowledgeable and told us a lot about conservation efforts, manatee habitat, & the history of the area. My son already wants to return and take his sister so she can share the experience. I highly recommend this tour company.

I had an incredible experience swimming with manatees here!!! The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. The guides and captains are very knowledgeable regarding manatees and consistently find them for their tours. Our guide Jake was very helpful, spotting manatee and pointing them out for us all to see. I can’t recommend this place enough - will definitely be heading back as soon as possible.

We had Captain Ross and Captain Corey for our manatee tour, they clearly loved what they do, explaining all the ins and outs of the area, about all the ways the county is improving the water and the plant life we would encounter and of course, Manatees! They made the tour unforgettable with their banters, dad jokes and pranks! You can tell Ross and Corey are leaders in their field as other boats constantly reached out for needs, from wetsuits and spots where manatees were. We will definitely come back to see them again.

Super friendly, efficient, affordable. We were lucky to pick a great spot with 50+ manatees, mostly clear waters. Go early to avoid the crowds (which makes murkier water, we started at 7. But there was a 630am tour as well) great little gift shop. They really do care about the well being our the cuddly manatees!
