O 'OG' Manatee Snorkel Tour com Guia In-Water / Fotógrafo

Had an amazing time and got to see a manatee up close Melissa and Gary were wonderful and extremely helpful during the tour

What a great experience!! Our guide Maleah was amazing and our Captain Melissa was great!! The two made sure we had a blast. We swam with two huge manatees and Maleah made sure we got the best experience possible. Her and Melissa went above and beyond to make it fun and an experience to remember! Definitely do this tour …you will not regret it.

It was fantastic! My wife and I booked the trip yesterday, not knowing what to expect. But once we got there, it was nothing short of processional, and fun! May and Wade were EXCELLENT guides, and allowed us to get up close (safely) to the manatees! Anyone questioning if they should go, we absolutely recommend it! And we fully plan on returning on our next trip!

Our guide Gary and captain JJ were amazing. Wonderful tour even in the summer.

Had a wonderful time and planning to do it again. It said a three-hour experience. You should know that that included the time it took to get ready e.g., getting and putting on the wet suites and changing out of them. It was not three-hours on the water.

This was an absolutely magical experience our guide Crystal was very knowledgeable and friendly throughout the whole tour!

Crystal was excellent and captain Mike knew just where to go! We were looking for a perfect end to our trip to Florida, and this was it!

I never write reviews, but this company is WORTH IT! I took my aunt, sister and niece on this tour - swimming with manatees was a bucket list item for me. Our tour guide was Nat and our boat driver was Emerson. Nat was insanely talented at finding manatees, knowing how they would be moving around, and guiding us on how to move/swim. She was very clear in her instructions and not kicking our feet, not splashing, and being calm was necessary and as a result, we were able to float near a GIANT female manatee for over an hour. I got to watch her eat sea grass, I was SO CLOSE to her! Emerson also had great knowledge and was a sweet guy. I am SO HAPPY we did this. Also, there are two really sweet dogs who like pets at River Venture's office, all of their employees were really sweet, their wetsuits and snorkel masks were REALLY nice quality.

AMAZING experience!!!!! We saw and swam with several manatees (mainly mom and baby pairs 💗). There was an algae bloom so it was a little harder to see but the snorkel gear helped tremendously. Natalie (guide & photographer), Emerson (captain), James (driver), and the owner were kind, helpful, and passionate about their work. We were lucky to have a private experience even though we did not book one. Would suggest a smaller group booking to anyone who wants the most out of their time with the gentle giants. If you want a calm, family friendly/centric, conservation/ecologic focused, and funny/joking experience book today!!!! Not for adrenaline junkies (go to an amusement park).

What an awesome time! This was on the bucket list for my wife and she could not have been happier! They got to spend an hour just hanging with a manatee. Our trip team, Guide Anna and Captain Mike were super professional, full of great information and funny too. Thanks!
