I think you need to read a real review of this trip. It comprises 3 parts. Manatee swim,nature park. Wild bill airboat ride 1) manatee swim. This is my big problem. It sounded great but when you get there, it is 1 elderly unwell manatee who doesn’t move. When I politely asked why we did not go where there were more manatees I was told it was not manatee season and there were no more manatees. So it should say swimming no closer than 20 metres from 1 manatee. Not what we were promised at all 2) local nature park. Just that a local open air nature park I had low expectations and it met them 3). Wild bills airboat ride. Superb, 5 stars. Just go on this and forget the rest unless you are travelling in January!!

Amazing one person in my group had a manatee follow her and it was truly unbelievable! The tour guides on the bus and at each location were very genuine people! I went by myself and had an incredible time! I look forward to booking them again and maybe next time bringing a friend!

Dave is a thoughtful guide and drove us from our pick up location to all our destinations. Had sooo much fun snorkelling with the manatees- Hunter is a fantastic tour guide and will put you as ease if your anxious like I was. Not forgetting Chad our boat captain🙌🏾. Finally, we got to also go riding on an air boat at wild Bill’s gator tour which was just lovely! I absolutely will recommend! My 13yr old, 11yr old and 7yr old had an amazing time. It was lovely and educative for myself, hubby and kids😀

We went on the manatee, nature park and airboat tour with Real Florida Adventures and it was an absolutely incredible day. We swam with two manatees and saw some breathtaking views at Crystal River. The wildlife at the Homosassa nature reserve was great and Aaron drove our airboat at Wild Bills where we saw at least 10 wild alligators. We had Dave from RFA driving us the whole day and he was very friendly, insightful and great with the kids. Overall a 10/10 day that I'd recommend to absolutely anyone!

Absolutely amazing trip! All of the activities were great! And our guide Dave was super helpful and informative! Would definitely recommend this trip to families and groups of friends

Brilliant day with good knowledgeable guides Highly recommend saw few manatees from boat and one whilst snorkeling Lovely visit to Homosassa wildlife park Excellent airboat ride

The 3 stops were all unique and exciting. Felt like I got to experience a bunch of true florida adventure. The shuttle driver was nice and entertaining.

Absolutely great trip! So much fun! Worth the time and money. Paul was a great guide and Tony was a fantastic driver. Manatees were amazing and the airboat ride was a blast.

This trip certainly didn't disappoint. Weather warnings meant it was rescheduled to the following day, however this was seamless and meant we had gorgeous weather. Bus broke down but within 20mins efficiently sorted and on our way. As always the timings were spot on, Paul was knowledgeable and the ultimate professional when keeping a large group in tow. He split us into smaller groups of 12 and we were all sent out snorkeling. Captain michaela and swim guide jacob were great. We had full face masks of our own which made things so much easier. Wetsuits and floats were provided and the swim guide was with us the whole time. The manatees were everywhere! In the brackish water they were harder to see, but came up to investigate us. Swimming into the three springs section it was crystal clear and unlike anything we had experienced before. Back at the boat it was hot chocolate all round before getting on the coach for lunch. Pack up was high quality and substantial. Off to the wildlife park, loads to see but maybe not quite long enough to appreciate it. Off to the airboat tour with captain Aaron. We saw gators, turtles and so many birds. Utterly soaked (we sat at the front) but truly fantastic experience. Absolutely worth the money. Its a long day but so so worth the effort. I would have loved longer at the park, but not sure where they would get the time from - all in all real florida adventures have qbsolutely nailed this trip. We booked through viator and having the option to not pay until 24hrs before really helped, in addition to being my go to travel trip booking agent. Thanks so much to all the team for all their efforts

The day started off with a swim with manatees, with a stop at the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State park and ended with a tour down the river in an airboat. Our guide Paul was willing to chase down and commandeer a passing empty bus to get our day started on time while our bus was having issues.

We went to book gatorland but was recommended wild florida instead and we where not disaapointed. Despite the bus having slight technical issue tony and paul remained calm and resolved situation quickly, the whole day was great from the manatee snorkelling, gary was a really great captain and went extra mile to look after us all, the nature park was very tranquil and we all enjoyed the walk around the park, the airboat tour was the icing on cake, i think aaron was our driver and was quick at spotting alligators, all the guides where very knowledgable and would highly recommend thanks paul for being a great host Ps the sub sandwich was fab especially after a week of park food x

This was really cool! Shoutout to Paul, our excellent tour guide and Tony, our wonderful driver! We saw lots of things and had a blast! We were very wet by the end. The subs were great.

A wonderful experience! Paul was a great tour guide, kept us laughing and informed. The manatees were so close and the airboat tour was a highlight for the kids.

All day event , great people, great food . Just a good time overall . Saw quite a few manatees, ate lunch walked through the park for a hour or so and airboat tour . Amazing experience.

Overall it was a pretty good value for the money. The manatee swim was a little disappointing due to the manatees themselves not cooperating, but that’s not the fault of the tour operators. Everything that was inside of their control was done well and overall a good time. Would do again in the future, might even take the wife along next time.

Great day trip! Really nice to get out of Orlando and see a veriety of animals with a more conservation minded group. Our guide Ricky took great care of us.

Our family had a GREAT trip with Dave! He gave us tour tips regarding Central Fl.activities, sightseeing info., and directions for each activity. Lunch was very good. The airboat ride and trip to the Wildlife State Park were very interesting with alligator and manatee spottings. John and Matt were excellent guides for the Swim with the manatees. We saw a baby manatee with adult while swimming and then 6 more manatees on the boat ride back. The hot cocoa on the boat ride back was delicious. Thanks Dave for the jokes and movie on the van trip back. Highly recommend these activities and tour group.

Such a great experience with a fantastic crew that were engaging, experienced, funny and entertaining. So excited we were able to see a manatee and really enjoyed the swim/snorkeling!! Highly recommended - they are top notch!!
