Capt Steve & Guide Bri ROCK! - Capt Steve & our guide Bri were absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. 8 of us girls came for a birthday celebration and we were not disappointed in the slightest. We got to see a giant female manatee & enjoyed the three sisters spring after. From the booking to our experience we were completely satisfied and over the moon! Professional & fun- we highly recommend this company for your manatee experience!

Splendid tour to swim with Manatees - The Captain and the Guide were amazing. We went to see a few Manatees and even a baby. The service was perfect and I can only recommend to do the tour with Captain Dustin. Thank you for that wonderful experience!
We also got a free upgrade to the semi private tour. It was just three tourists, the captain and the guide.

Pur first encounter with the manatee - Swim with Morgan and the captain with the manatees this morning! What an experience! Lovely water and after some searching like another mother with calf spotted! These had no desire in us so searched further. Soon three manatees spotted! Come with snorkel at arm's length away from these imposing friendly animals. The Guide and Captain were friendly, helpful and very patient with us as inexperienced snorkelers! The Guide could tell a lot about everything that lived and existed underwater such as the beautiful springs and its properties! Thank you for this wonderful and unforgettable experience and how privileged you are to live and work in this beautiful place on earth! Wow! Love fam . Drost

Amazing guide and captain! Definitely a must go! - Captain Glen and our guide Ross were so much fun and knowledgeable about manatees. Ross was very thorough with what we had to do when we were in the water and how to keep calm to not scare the manatees. We were so lucky to come upon a momma with her little baby. It was literally the most majestic and magical thing I've ever seen! Then we took a quick detour to the Sisters springs and all I can say was the view under water was amazing!
Thank you guys for checking something off my bucket list and we will definitely try to come sometime in the winter in a few years to do it again.

Waterfront Adventures is the only way to go - Captain Glenn and Dustin went above and beyond to help my daughters (who were not part of their group, just swimmers next to their group) help find the manatees. The captain told the girls where to look and Dustin personally showed them where the manatees were. How awesome to meet people who are still like this in this day and time. Thank You Watersport Adventures!
