We love the team at Plantation Adventure Center!! We just had an amazing weekend with Captain Dave and Guide Tyler for swims and a sunset cruise and Captain Daniel and Guide Tyler for another swim - we were having so much fun we went several times! Loved all the jokes and learning new things about manatees and the area. We've gone with this company many years in a row and have thoroughly enjoyed every trip and the experiences with every member of the company!

This is the third time we have used Plantation Adventures for manatee swimming. Thee crew knows what they're doing and are a lot of fun to spend time with. They are attentive to protecting the manatees, while also allowing their customers to have a close experience with these beautiful sea creatures.

If your looking for a true Florida experience, look no further. Their knowledge and passion guarantees you a truly magical experience. I have been out several times with this company and keep coming back because of the wonderful staff. Captains and Dive Masters know the area well and do all they can for you even when the weather is difficult. Highly recommended!!
