The most amazing experience ever! Can not reccomend it highly enough. We swam with hundreds of manatees, a truely unique day. Can't wait to do it agin!
Good value for the money. Only suggestion to change is skip the breakfast or find another location. Breakfast ok but hard to get a cup of coffee and refills nonexistant. Would rather have met a little later and eaten on our own.
Nous avons passé une excellente journée. Notre guide Madaline était très sympa et drôle. Nous avons eu la chance de trouver très rapidement des lamantins qui sont tout de suite venus nous voir: c'était super.
Le tour en airboat (wild bill) était tout simplement génial. L'endroit où nous avons navigué était sauvage et vraiment magnifique.
Le petit déj chez Sizzler était bien et le panier repas très complet (sandwich, chips, eau, jus de fruit, salade de fruits, cookies).
Seul bémol: les combis pour nager avec les lamantins doivent être réglées à l'avance (10$) et donc pas possible de se desister: mon fils de 4 ans a eu peur des lamantins et n'est pas allé nager avec eux mais nous avons payé pour lui.
This is a fabulous and unforgettable swim with magical creatures. Not to be missed!
Excellent day adventure with pleasant host and lots of fun for the family. Recommended trip.
Fantastic trip from beginning to end. Seeing the joy on my husband's face when he was face to face with a manatee - priceless
Thoroughly enjoyed the trip... Great weather.. Great guides.. Organised and would definately recommend! Amazing sightings! Up close and personal. Staff have a wide knowledge, good length of time in water and with the manatees.
We only swam with the manatees and did not do the airboat adventure. Loved the manatee swim!! It was so much fun to touch them and be with them. Very cool experience!! The Three Sisters Spring was breathtaking. The water was crystal clear.
My only disappointment was that there were not a lot of manatees with which to swim. We went the first week in May, and since the weather was warmer, most of the manatees had left the Crystal River. There were not any in the Spring. If I were to go again, I would do it in the winter months when the manatees would be in abundance.
This is definitely a worthwhile experience. I am so glad that we did it!!
This tour was the best part of my holiday, we got to swim with two manatees (we were told we might not see any, April is out of season ) the captain was great , the bus driver was funny and helpful, the breakfast and packed lunch were great, the stop off at homasssa park was lovely, the air boat ride was ok, had better and at 5pm at night getting wet before the long drive is not the best , but all in all a awesome day and one to remember for a long time. ( lunch was ham and cheese roll, crisps, cookies, fruit bowl, water and juice ) a nice normal pack up, and nice and cold, also I recommend the wetsuit keeps you warm and helps you float and bring a waterproof disposable camera made my day getting a full underwater face shot of a baby manatee , they swim right up to you if your quite and not splashing about .
It was an awesome tour!
Manatees are so cute and very well protected. It is necessary to be very patient as it can take a long time to see a few. But seeing one is a great experience. The Airboat tour was really excellent (ride and environment). Excellent day!
I have been to Florida 5 times and have been to all the theme parks and by far this was the best excursion I have been on !!! I recommend it to anyone. My husband and 2 children ages 13 and 19 thought it was great . Best bang for your buck !
One of the best experiences of my life. Totally recommended!
We got to see dozens and dozens of manatees, and even touched 3 of them. I though we'd be allowed in the water with them for 5 or ten min but we had nearly two hours and because we got cold, so we had to go back to the boat.
The guide was really professional (and helpful), our group was fun, the airboat ride was awesome, and the homosassa park incredible.
I'd repeat right now.
Although the weather the day we scheduled our excursion was not the best this was a very good trip. The boat captain wasn't sure we would see any manatees because of the rough water but he found us a mother and baby. It was awesome! The Everglades Airboat ride was a thrill. Our bus driver and tour guide were top notch. We will definitely schedule another excursion the next time we are in Orlando.
Excellent trip well worth the money excellent staff, fantastic day can only suggest doing the airboat ride first as this gives you the rest of the day to dry off but no big deal really great day highly recommended.
