Such a memorable and amazing experience! Piper and Captain Moe were expert tour guides. They were so knowledgeable about all things manatees, conservation, and snorkeling. They were considerate to our whole family which included young kids. Piper was phenomenal helping our inexperienced snorkeler and supporting him maneuvering smoothly and safely in the water. We saw so many manatees and couldn’t recommend them enough!

We had a great time with Shaggy and Mike! Shaggy was great helping us with our mask and snorkels when we were struggling a bit and was super funny and taught us a lot. Mike was great as our captain and made us some awesome mochas when we got back aboard the boat after our swim. We will hopefully be back sometime!

An amazing experience! Both guide Crystal and Captain Melissa made the bucket list event perfect. They were knowledgeable and helpful. Great customer service from everyone we meet in the company. The whole tour was smooth, from the wetsuits to the swim to the boat ride. I would recommend the tour.

Our guide Shaggy was basically a stand-up comedian/marine biologist. Very funny and knowledgeable. Florida Man vibes but in the best way!! The water was pretty cloudy so we didn’t see a ton of manatees, but we have no regrets. The laughs, our guide and the overall experience made it worth it. 10/10 would book with Shaggy (and Captain Moe who was also awesome) again.
