Great tour! Booked this experience online, showed up and had a great experience…checked in and fitted for gear quickly and all by great staff. The tour itself was led by Jerry and John, both were fantastic! They found a perfect spot soon after leaving and got everyone in the water as soon as possible to see the manatees. Although there were only a few manatees in the bay they made sure that everyone had a personal experience observing these beautiful animals. Would definitely suggest this trip!This should be your choice for a tour. Best tour company. I made a mistake and booked our tour for the wrong date. These awesome people accommodated us and made room on their tour for us. Loved our time out on and in the water. Best experience hands down. Thanks so much.

While we didn’t see a lot of manatees, we did see several, including a mother and baby calf and several large mammals. Afterwards we did a cruise around the “lake” a little. Enjoyed seeing so many pelicans too.

We went on a Manatee Snorkel Tour with Cody and Captain Jerry, and had such an amazing experience! We were fortunate enough to have one of the impressive creatures swim around and under us as he was grazing on the sea grass. Such an impressive creature! Of course, seeing the manatees and swimming near them was fabulous, but in addition, the attention that they gave us was exceptional, before, during, and after our tour. It is clear that these guys know what they are doing, and that they truly love it! When we found out that the company is family-owned, that made us want to support them even more, so we picked out a few items in the lovely gift shop after our tour! I would definitely recommend this company.
