Awesome experience!

Overall the excursion was a success! Bree and Taylor did a great job and were full of good information and even some humor! The manatees were amazing, and we found viewing them very relaxing and interesting. The only negative was that the water was somewhat cloudy and we couldn't always see them well.

Incredible once in a lifetime experience

Bri was an amazing guide and Taylor was our captain on the boat. They knew exactly where the Manatees would be and how to maneuver through all the other tours in the water so we could see the beautiful animals. They were funny and knew a lot of facts about Manatees too! We had the best time with the whole family!
