Trip was relatively boring. Not much of a boat ride. We spent most of the time not moving
Alan_C, Mar 2023
The trip guide was great. The trip was very lame. Not much boat movement. Saw a couple of manatees, two gators, and two birds. Didn't go much into the mangroves. In short not much of a wildlife boat tour.
Manatees Galore
James_D, Mar 2023
We enjoyed Captain Storm’s humor as he shared interesting information about manatees and alligators. We would recommend this tour to families and seniors. Ask for Captain Storm.

We loved our experience. The Captain was spectacular. I would definitely recommend Allyn as your Captain. He made our excursion fabulous!
So so
Emily_C, Mar 2023
Seeing one small manatee and two small alligators. There were almost no birds. It was a pleasant day on the water but not up to its advertising. Scott was great but he can’t manufacture wildlife.
Peaceful & infomative
Becky_M, Mar 2023
Saw a mama & baby manatee. Was a very windy day but beautiful ride just the same. Learned about the area and life of manatees.
Very Enjoyable!

Manatee Experience
Nancy_M, Mar 2023
Great viewing of manatees and a couple alligators. Captain Ed was the BEST! Nice warm beautiful day but under the cover of the canapy kept us cool.
Great afternoon
Noreen_S, Mar 2023

Our captain was great!...
Gail_K, Mar 2023
Our captain was great! Saw 5 manatees! Very informative! Great weather! Would recommend! Price very reasonable!
It was fine; can't control nature
Heidi_N, Mar 2023
Overall it was fine. Can't guarantee much wildlife. It was very warm so the manatees hadn't come inland as much. We did some gliding just under the surface and popping their nose up. The guide said we'd usually see them a bit more. But it was nice to be out on the water in the middle of the day and shaded in the boat. I'd rather try my luck renting a kayak and seeing if I see any manatees in another spot. The guide didn't really give a ton of information without prompting.
Loved it!
Patty_P, Mar 2023
We loved our trip with Captain Andrew! He is so knowledgeable about manatees, alligators (we saw both) and the surrounding area.
Great beginners tour for a good value.
Michele_C, Feb 2023
A baby manatee came to the surface near the boat and you could really see it well and catch a picture. Our guide was very informative. The small boat experience was wonderful. The only thing that kept it from being excellent was that I thought we were going to be weaving in and out of small channels, and in fact we were in large open waterways most of the time.
Great afternoon on the water
Caryn_M, Feb 2023
Captain Stormy was friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable. Spot two manatees in the first 15mins of our tour. Great afternoon on the water seeing and learning about the enand local wildlife
Great Manatee Wildlife excursion!

Awesome adventure!
