5/5 tour... Our guide (Adam) was fantastic—his energy was infectious and he kept everyone having a FUN time all day. Snorkeling so close to the manatees was surreal, and seeing them feed from the underwater observation area at the state park was really cool too and finally getting on a fan boat also fulfilled a lifelong dream from my childhood (Gentle Ben) days! Can’t recommend this enough. Thanks, Adam!

Adam was AMAZING. He really brought the energy and made the day fun. From car karaoke to rapping on the spot, he did it all. First stop was swimming with the manatees, we were lucky to see a mam and a super curious calf, what an experience!! We then headed to Monkey Island for a quick visit to see the monkeys and grab a well needed drink. Next we went to the national park, lovely place to walk around and see the manatees at feeding time. Also got to see a black bear which is a tick off my bucket list. Lastly, we went to Wild Bill’s for a ride on an air boat. Again it was a great experience and we saw some alligators in the wild. All in all a fantastic day with the best host. Thanks Adam ☺️

Nuestro guía Ismael (Tom Cruise) fue muy bueno, nos habló de varios sitios y nos ayudó en todo. Sin embargo, considero que el tiempo es muy poco para poder apreciar todo lo que el pueblo ofrece: sus museos, su historia, su arquitectura y las compras. Debería haber un tour de más días que incluya la noche de piratas...
