Steven and Garrett were great. They put us on the manatees, made sure our boys were comfortable, and were great making sure everyone had a chance to see the sea cows. They were both very knowledgeable and friendly and provided local recommendations, knew the area really well and were humorous and great guides.

In Florida with my Wife and daughter, needed a once in a lifetime gift for my manatee loving wife to celebrate her 40th, Mother’s Day and for organising this amazing holiday!! Did some research and found these guys via Google, social media and trip advisor! Booked it right away, too quickly even! Without checking the booking dragged everyone 2 hours to crystal river, checked in at the desk only to realise I had booked a differently date entirely SMH! Luckily for us, the guys on reception were more than helpful and accommodating and Juno got us booked in for the next day!! None of us had snorkelled before and I opted in for the full face mask for my wife (genius move in the end) myself and our 4 year old daughter used the snorkel mask, took a little while to get used to but with the advice from Shawn and Wade we were set for an incredible morning of snorkelling and manatee watching. Shawn and Wade’s insight and knowledge were priceless for our trip and really rounded off an incredible adventure for us and the whole party! Whilst the manatees were playing hide and seek, we did have a few wholesome encounters and it was topped off with my wife having an incredible face to face with the gentlest of giants (the full face mask coming in clutch)!! 100% we will return and do this again, we all loved it and had the best most memorable time! I cannot recommend these guys enough and if just one person reads this and takes my advice to go for it - I guarantee they’ll have just as good a time as we did! To top it off our little one left her prized possession behind and they called us to let us know!

Let me start by saying GARRET and STEVEN were absolutely amazing from the beginning when going over rules and instructions they made it comfortable and easy to understand then when we got on the boat they had us in the water and swimming with manatees in no time it was amazing then my mother was struggling to keep up and see the manatees these amazing guys found a mother and her baby took my mother out by herself swam her over to them and she had an experience that will last in our memories to forever these gentlemen are incredible for everything they did thank you soo much for our family experience of a lifetime

Shiela and Mo were truly amazing guides. Not only were they respectful to the other tour boats times with the in water Manatee experience, but they were knowledgeable and provided the best tour experience we have had. Of course swimming with the Manatees was on my bucket list and was truly amazing! Best day ever.
