We recently enjoyed a thrilling snorkling with manatees tour, and I can't recommend it enough! Our tourguide, Mr. Adam Rubman, was incredibly professional, funny and caring and made the tour both super entertaining and memorable. The entire adventure was a fantastic way to embrace the untouched Florida wilderness. We loved it! If you're looking for a fun outing, this is the one to try!
