Tom (Captain) and Adam (guide) were amazing! We had a wonderful time exploring the bay, and FINALLY finding 3 manatees. The last we were able to really see and experience swimming with. They even gave us a little extra time to swim in the spring! ❤️

Absolutely incredible! Our guides were so friendly, so informative, and so helpful. My mom had an anxiety attack in the water and Adam helped her through it and get safely back to the boat. We saw a mama and calf, a munching bull, crabs, springs, fish, herons... I'm blown away. This was a spiritual experience! Life changing!
