Great experience! Captain Lee was awesome! Very informative and provided an educational and very safe trip!
Doesn't live up to pictures. Saw no manatee. You don't sail in clear water. Only saw birds
We had an awesome trip and were able to see tons of different wildlife. The highlight was watching an 8-10 foot alligator catch a large fish, raise it’s head in the air and swallow the fish whole.
This was a great experience for our family. I would recommend it. However, we did the 2 hour boat tour an it was a bit long to hold the attention of the grandsons. I think the 1 hour may have worked better. The boat was super slow..as it should be!
Very beautiful, peaceful and informative
Great Experience :) Tour Guide was well informed about the area and clearly answered every question also helped that she was funny. Would go again.
Skipper was super entertaining and we saw lots of wildlife from the boat even manatees in May. When the boat ride is over highly recommend walking to the spring for a swim.
There is a long drive from the entrance to the car park. The boats are very spacious, easy to board and our captain/guide was witty and very informative. We saw a variety of birds, alligators, turtles and a basking cotton mouth snake. Surprisingly we also saw folk kayaking, paddle boarding and generally splashing around in the water!
We loved this and highly recommend we enjoyed and had no idea this even existed. Informative and fun!
Experience was wonderful. A bit long its 2 hours not 45 minutes but Captan was great and ride was nice.
