Amazing tour!!

My boyfriend and I came down here with another couple and this by far was the best part of our trip. Our tour guide Nick was amazing and so informative with all of the wildlife we got to see. We were so lucky to see so many manatees up close and personal! 10/10 would recommend this location specially because you launch right in the Marina and get to explore a little island that is stunning.
