Ross and the captain did amazing ! Will do this again!
Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and personable. Very fun and beautiful sites. Cannot wait to book another excursion with the same guide.
Pick up from the airport took longer than it should and I was not sure who to look for and there were no posted signs otherwise the staff was friendly and helpful. The checkout process was simple. The car met my families needs. The ride back to the airport was ready and waiting and did not have any delays. The gas station across the street made it simple to fill up the car before returning it. It was clean. Thank you
I brought my 12 year-old granddaughter on this semi private Swim tour With The Manatees. Our guide was Reggie our captain was steve. This was one ofthe most amazing experiences I have ever done. Steve and Reggie are the best. I will definitely ask for them again upon my return and, I will be back!
Great experience with Dani & Steve! The semi private tour was perfect for our family of four. We got up-close with a manatee and got some awesome pictures of the whole experience (thanks Dani). Our guides were able to answer every question we had; from manatees to where to get dinner. This tour was definitely a highlight of our trip!
Glenn is one of a kind! He has lived a hundred lives, knows the bay like the back of his pocket and can perfectly describe what we see, the environnement and the wildlife. He taught us some things about gators and manatees we did not expect and allowed us to understand them and how to act around them. Great tour ! (The seats were great too haha) So long Captain !
Great trip! Because it's June you see normally less manatees, but not for us! We did see at least 3-5 and did spent a lot of time with them! Probably because of leaving early (6:45). Michele&Glen both were fantastic! Loved the enthousiasm like how you spoke about the manatees/other animals and bay/environment! Learnt a lot!
Our semi-private Swim with the Manatees tour with Paddle Tail Waterfront Adventures was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Everything about the experience exceeded our expectations and created what will definitely be a core memory for years to come. The crystal-clear water was stunning, and the amount of wildlife we saw was amazing. We encountered all kinds of fish, including a tarpon, which was especially impressive. Of course, the highlight of the trip was spending time with the manatees. Seeing these gentle giants up close in their natural environment was simply unforgettable. Captain Steve and our guide, Kristen, were outstanding. They were knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about both the wildlife and providing a great experience. They did an excellent job educating our group and ensuring we followed all guidelines to help protect the manatees and respect their habitat. I drove nearly two hours each way for this adventure, and honestly, I would have driven considerably farther. It was that good. If you're considering a swim with the manatees experience, I can't recommend Paddle Tail Waterfront Adventures highly enough. An unforgettable day and worth every minute of the trip.L
Swimming with manatees was amazing, and experience I won't forget. Captain Glen and Laura were great with information on the area and manatees
Glen the boat Capitan and our tour guide were absolutely fantastic. They work unbelievably well with kids and everyone had a blast. Both of them have a wealth of knowledge and are extremely experienced. What a great trip to take a family on or a group of 6th graders like we did
