Unforgettable Experience - Our manatee snorkeling tour was absolutely fantastic! Steve and Bri were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the area and these gentle giants. Their enthusiasm and expertise made the tour even more exciting. We were lucky to see many manatees up close – truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! What made it even better was the flexibility to decide where we wanted to go and whether we wanted to get in the water. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure – we highly recommend this tour!

The most magical experience of my life.... with manatees - Top notch guides who know what they're doing and will take you for the most amazing experience with these incredibly gentle Giants. Sara and Captain "Markle Sparkle" were so kind and sensitive to each of us.... they are incredibly knowledgeable and committed to the care and well-being of the manatees and involved in helping to bring back the seagrass for them which has been lost to the hurricanes... this is what they eat. We saw so many and had so much fun and got to interact with these incredibly intuitive animals. Thank you for the most magical experience of my life...

Manatee tour worth it! - Brie and Mark are very helpful - If you ever dream of swimming with a Manatee, this is where you want to go. Staff are very friendly and all well informed about safety and helping Manatees. For our tour we had Brie that was in the water with us, making sure we got the best experience. And at the helm we had captain Mark making sure our questions were answered and getting us to and from the shop safely. And pro tip, if you don’t mind getting up early, do the morning tour to get the most out of your trip:) Once in a lifetime experience. If you have the chance, do it!

Amazing up close and personal interaction thanks to the expertise of Jack and Chaz - Ethan helped me book the day before and was so helpful telling me how to enjoy my day at nearby attractions until my trip the next day. He also was the one who encouraged me to go early to have the best viewing experience which was spot on. Captain jack and captain Chaz took me out the next morning. Jack was incredible, staying in the water with me and keeping an eye on me at all times. I had such up close and personal interactions with manatees I was blown away. He was great at pointing out these magical creatures and getting me in the best position. Chaz was a great captain, we were the first boat in the water. Only had to go out five minutes before we got in the water and saw tons of animals within the first two 1-2 hours. My hair got chewed on by a baby and kissed a couple times by curious creatures! Chaz had delicious hot chocolate and coffee on the boat which he mixed for me and poured hot water down my neck when I got back on the boat. Back at the dock they had a super warm room to change which felt lovely. Can’t recommend these guys enough. Maria at the front desk was so sweet and helpful as well, thanks all of you guys! First time to Florida and this company made me fall in love with it for many reasons, including the manatees!

Manatee experience - One to remember - Just when you think you can't top your last manatee experience you get proven wrong. We asked for Sara as our guide again. Absolutely love all the photos and videos she always captures. Three Sisters' visibility is amazing and I can't compare to other locations. The manatee swim center has three locations. We were able to go two all within a short walk to the boat. Just a short boat ride to our manatee encounter. Which means more time to spend in the water with the manatees. Last week, Sara let us know we would not need the pool noodle since we were wearing 5mm wetsuits. I decided to use the pool noodle last week and beginning of Thursday's excursion. I am so glad I decided to forgo the pool noodle. It made the interactions that much more special. Captain John's thoughtful touch with the towels and hot cocoa is a perfect way to wrap up such a magical day. Those little details can really elevate the whole experience, making it one to remember!
