I was very close to cancelling this tour since the weather was so cold (45F) but I keep reading that manatees prefer colder weather so I took a chance. I am so glad I did! It was an unforgettable experience. The water in the gulf sits at 72F all year round so the cooler weather didn’t matter. It was even better because there were a tonne of manatees! Lots of different schools of fish and I even saw a turtle swimming around! The tour group provided a heated boat, wetsuits - which surprisingly keep you warm - snorkel, masks, hot chocolate/coffee/tea, towels and even a shower before you head home. And free parking. I highly recommend these guys. Very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work.

Very well organized. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The fact that they took a wide variety of photos for us let us simply enjoy the experience.

We had a great experience on the manatee tour. We went with giggles as our swim guide and Colt was our boat guide.
Both are very passionate about making sure we had a great experience and are very knowledgeable about manatees and how to have the safe and rewarding experience.
As a huge bonus, the facility offers warm showers after our swim experience.

I have an 8 year old son. We went last year and he told me he didn’t care if the only thing he got for Christmas was to go swim with the manatees, even though the water was warm we still saw 4.

Great experience. The crew was awesome. We got to see a lot of manatees. Coit and Morgan did great.
