False advertising: the photos are inaccurate. The water was brown/green, and you couldn't see anything. They knew it was very unlikely to see manatees but took us out anyway. Nothing could be seen in the cloudy water.

We had a great tour with Jax! We had a small group and paddled all over the place! We saw two manatees! One in really shallow water and one because we spotted the rescue bouy! We also saw two gators and so many birds! Jax was knowledgeable of the area and gave lots of information. Check in was easy, parking was easy! I think this tour pairs well with a morning snorkel because we got to explore a different part of the area and see lots of wild life from a different perspective than we did in the morning!

The company and crew was excellent. They were very polite and professional. I have to give it a 3/5 based on personal expectations vs reality. I assumed that this would be an adventure on pristine clear waters. It was not that. There was one small isolated area like I envisioned. The majority of the water was a busy area which required navigation by the group. Granted it was a weekend and it was beautiful out, I just assumed we would be traveling along these clear water canals. That was not it. We were able to see some manatee, but it was the end of the season and our expectations were low in that regard.

Dani was delightful and knowledgable. It was amazing kayaking and catching a glimpse of the Manatees and other wildlife. I will come back in December when the Manatees migrate back!
