On this adventure of a lifetime, guests will swim and snorkel with manatees in the wild. Tours are 3 hours in length and all gear (Mask, Snorkel and Wetsuit) is provided for each person at no additional cost. Wetsuits will aid in buoyancy and each participant is also provided a foam swim noodle to hang onto for additional flotation. We are mostly just floating with the manatees in a calm, quiet manner and allowing the manatees to be comfortable around us.
You will be introduced to your guide upon your arrival, and your guide will remain with you throughout the duration of your experience, to include being in the water with you.
Your guide will be taking photographs of you and the others in your group throughout the tour, and pictures taken can be reviewed at the conclusion of the tour and may be purchased if desired.
Please be sure to watch the Manatee Manners video that we will send to you in your confirmation email. This will give you great tips on how to have the best experience. We look forward to sharing this amazing experience with you.

We had a great time even though the weather was rainy. It was my mom’s 73rd birthday and Troy our guide took amazing care of her and the rest of us. We enjoyed our captain, Dereck. Extremely knowledgeable and we can’t leave out Joe who shuttled us to and from the dock! Such an amazing time we are planning another trip next November (2027) requesting the same crew! We tried going back the next day to give a little tip so they could have a bowl of clam chowder on us but they were not open yet. Highly recommend!

Best experience of our vacation
Carrie_D, October 2026
It was awesome! We had Ryan and Shanna and they were absolutely top tier! They took the time to treat us like family and teach Gigi about manatees as she was apprehensive. She took Tyler under her wing as his last manatee swim he was young as scared. Now I think manatees are his favorite as they are mine. Best day ever even after the parks!! Shanna even went above and beyond and came and met my special needs daughter afterward! They shared water, fish dip, and conversation! Would absolutely recommend and will be back! Still waiting on all photos to upload! But will send when I have!!
