Early morning treat: manatees and dolphins - It was a wonderful experience. We did the early morning tour and getting up was so worth it. Bri was a lovely guide and Steve a faulous captain. We did swim with a manatee mom and her calf and even got to see one of the springs. The absolute bonus was on our way back: a couple of dolphins came into the bay to hunt their breakfast. It was amazing to see these animals that close to the boat. Bri took nice pictures of us and filmed some videos of the manatees and dolphins.

An absolute must 5* We had an amazing time! - An Absolute Must! 5* My family and I had an absolute blast today and couldn’t be happier. Our skipper Captain Steve & our guide in the water Bree were so insightful, knowledgeable, friendly and just a blast to be with. We got to see exactly what we came for. We even saw a big momma with her calf which was fantastic. Steve & Bree got us into some great diving spots and we were literally face to face with these beautiful gentle giants. Steve & Bree gave us a bonus tour/dive of the three sisters springs. One of the most unique and beautiful places we have seen. The tour even provided us with some delicious hot cocoa to warm us up after our swim. Nothing was too much trouble for Steve & Bree. All our questions were answered in a very polite and professional manner. We cannot recommend this tour and swim highly enough! It made a great change and break away from the parks for a day. If we return to Florida, we would rebook again in a heartbeat. Book now, you will not be disappointed. Ask for Captain Steve & Bree, they were awesome.

Manatee - Amazing people. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Seen manatees, different fish and even a gator. Went to the 3 sister springs to swim with just a request.

Best time of the vacation! - I had an amazing time with my group, and I couldn’t believe the size of the manatees! The tour was truly a once in a lifetime experience, and I’m so happy we made the decision to go with manatee swim center. Bri and Steve were our guide and captain and they knew just about everything you can about the area and wild life which was so helpful! They found us manatees to swim with within the first few minutes of getting on the boat with Bri’s drone flying skills, which was awesome to watch happen. Thank you guys so much it was a 10/10 trip we are so lucky to get to do something like this with such great people!

Manatee swimming experience - This was the most amazing experience anyone could have. The captain if the boat Steve was just amazing and especially Bri she was the one who found and took us up towards the manatees they treated us so well. They also included drinks after our experience like coffee and hot cocoa. Definitely do this tour if you want an out of the world experience, won’t find anything better.

Fantastic experience - Amazing experience! We went on a tour from another agency earlier that day and was generally disappointed. We decided to try the swim center, and we’re so glad we did. Captain Glenn was awesome. The whole experience was 100 times better. The cost was a little more but definitely worth it.
