3 timmar Manatee Swim Tour i Florida

Captain Mark and Ross where exceptional guides and made the experience wonderful for me and my girls!

An absolutely amazing time! We went out of season but Steve and Reggie knew where to go to find manatees. We found a mom and baby and snorkeled around them for quite a while. Then we swam in the spring which was so clear - breathtaking actually. Steve and Reggie made the experience amazing and made us feel very comfortable with them and the manatees. They were knowledgeable about the area and animals and it was obvious they have a deep respect for nature and the safety of the manatees. I would highly recommend doing this tour. We weren’t sure about going off season but it worked out great because my 22yr old daughter and I ended up being the only ones on the tour at that particular time and snorkeling with the 2 manatees was perfect, TBH I can’t imagine going when there are tons of people and manatees after the experience we had.

Had an absolutely amazing time. Captain Steve and Celeste were so amazing. They helped my son and made sure he had the best adventure. All of our pictures turned out so cool.

Even though we were out of season they found a mother and calf and a few others to swim with. Amazing trip, highly recommend. Family of 5 the springs were crystal clear.

Michelle at Paddletail Waterfront Adventures was an excellent guide. She was knowledgeable about the manatees and surrounding areas. Michele did an amazing job making sure we were able to observe the manatees in a safe and respectful manner. Overall, we had a great time! It was so cool to see the manatees up close!

Great trip! We even got to visit three sister springs which was wonderful

Wow! Amazing! So much fun I did it again the next day. Very reasonably priced as part of a package with Paddletail Waterfront Lodge. Michele is a fantastic guide. She and both Captain Glenn and Captain Steve work hard for you to experience a manatee. Go early morning and midweek for fewer crowds.

My 8yo daughter and I went on the 7:30am adventure in late March. We had Mark & John for the activity. Very nice and very informative. They had hot cocoa on board, which was nice for the cold morning. Captain Mark was very aware of safety. Another company had a participant who went too close to our boat as he was driving. He noticed right away and avoided her. They took a nice video using a gopro. Very good quality, but I decided not to purchase. They did not pressure anyone to buy it. I thought I read there would be heaters on board, but I had looked up a bunch of places and I may have mixed up that inforamtion. The wetsuits were really good quality and I was not cold in the water. I would recommend PaddleTail Adventures for this activity! They had a shower in one of the bathrooms, which would be great if anyone needed to use it. Thanks for a memorable adventure!

Laura and Captain Glenn gave us a first class experience. Focus on manatee and human safety, directions on having a much manatee interaction as possible given the conditions. Bonus experience...a manatee surfaced for air right next to me!!! So exciting!!! Thank you Paddletail Waterfront Adventures, Captain Glenn and Laura the Mermaid!!!

Michele and Captain Steve were wonderful; very knowledgeable and personable. We swam with several moms and babies - what an experience!!
