Great People and Tour - Evan and Grace were absolutely wonderful. We had bad weather and water conditions and we still had a very very enjoyable trip thanks to their hard work. They are exceptional people and you will definitley enjoy the experience no matter what the weather.

Perfect Experience - We had a great time swimming with the manatees. Grace and Dylan did an amazing job finding them and getting us great views. We appreciate their expertise, kindness, and professionalism. Thank you!

Unforgettable experience! - This tour was amazing. Exceeded our expectations. Got up close to several manatees including a young calf. Grace and Dylan were incredible - lovely people and super knowledgeable. An unforgettable experience.

Manatees, manatees, what an awesome trip - Hina & Dylan were the perfect guides. Not only did we learn all about the manatees but they were able to seek out the perfect viewings making sure we maximized our time in the water. We were even lucky enough to see a momma and baby. Thank you for this special experience.

A wonderful bucket list experience! - We had a fantastic experience on our trip with Natures Discovery. Captain Dylan and guide Hita were very knowledgeable and really made our trip special. We all spent time in the water with manatees and for me this was a real bucket list achievement to swim with manatees. We found a mother and young calf very quickly on our trip, which was only the 4 of us on the boat. We spent plenty of time with them before heading off in search of another one. We also had the chance to swim in a spring vent, which was very interesting. The second manatee was in much clearer water and also had. Calf, but this calf was older and asleep under a dock! The manatees were all unconcerned with us humans and we were able to spend a good amount of time observing them. I can’t say enough good things about this experience and our crew. You won’t regret booking with Natures Discovery.

Amazing - so much more than just a manatee tour! - Every aspect of our experience here was amazing, comfortable and easy. Clearly signed entrance, parking right outside the building. We walked in (group of four) and were immediately greeted by Hina who let us know the rest of our group (2 others, six maximum in a group) were ready to go so we could leave as soon as we were ready (20 min early) and get some extra time looking for manatees! There's cubbys to leave your stuff and changing rooms to get into a wetsuit, before Hina drove us down to Pete's Pier where we immediately got into the boat. Our captain was Dylan, who was just as welcoming and friendly as Hina was. We got out and were provided with snorkels, Dylan and Hina immediately got to sharing tips with us on how to be considerate with the manatees, what to do if they approached etc. I felt completely comfortable even though I'm not a confident swimmer. We were given pool noodles to help us float and stay still in the water. Luckily for us, we found a mother and cub really quickly and we spent almost our whole time hanging out with them! The cub was so playful, was swimming up to and around us, grabbing our arms and coming up to our faces. Hina was really great at reassuring us to stay still and calm, and keeping us spread out so we all had a great time! We were able to get into the boat whenever we needed, to get water or take a break. She also took plenty of amazing photos that were available to purchase after we got back. We then spent some time in the Jurassic spring, diving down, looking at the fish and turtles. Dylan then helped us all back into the boat, and took us round to see some more of the spring and wildlife. We saw an alligator, plenty of interesting birds, and turtles from the boat. They both knew all the answers to our questions and shared all their local knowledge (including some great places to eat!) Dylan and Hina even took extra time to let us dive down into a cove that had become really clear, and apparently rarely did. Dylan and Hina really made the experience much more than just a manatee tour - so lovely and knowledgeable! I would highly, highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys wildlife and I definitely suggest you ask for Hina and Dylan!

Amazing! - We did this excursion on the first day of our tour through Florida. It was immediately one of the highlights of the trip. Hina and Jake made sure we had a top-notch experience. We swam with and alongside a manatee for almost an hour and a half. An amazing experience!

Excellent manatee tour - We had an amazing tour with Grace and Jake. They were both very knowledgeable about Manatees and clearly cared for their wellbeing. All the various tours communicate well to ensure guests can view manatees. Even though the manatees are mainly migrating at this time of year we were able to find and swim with a number of manatees which was an incredible experience. We were able to take our time and even got to swim in a spring.

Unique encounter - It was an indescribable experience. Our tour guide was excellent and we were in a very small group as a family. Great!!! Thanks so much!!!

Manatee swimming - This was a really fun trip. Unfortunately Hurricane Debby had been through a few days before so the water wasn't Crystal and finding the manatees was doubtless more difficult than normal however the crew really worked hard to make sure we had a pleasant couple of hours on the water then got in with a manatee.
