Great trip

A great trip, pur guide Dallas was very informative and was a great host. We saw a manatee close up and Dallas was great at getting close to it but not so that it impeded the manatee. A great trip, wr would recommend

Captain Dallas was great...

Captain Dallas was great and we saw a manatee up close and for quite a while. Also saw alligators. Very enjoyable experience.

Captain Dallas was great....

Captain Dallas was great. Good guide and found all of the water critters easily, but it was hard to really see the manatees due to water visibility and distance. That’s the only downfall. Also felt like half price was a bit excessive for a baby under 3 months old but so be it on that because I did agree to pay it. Captain offered fan and toy for baby if needed. Good, kind gesture.

Family Vacation

We had a no see and missed the manatees. We thought that might be a possibility. The boat ride was great and fun to be on the water. Dallas is a great tour guide.

Captain Joe is the best

Captain Joe was terrific. He provided us with lots of interesting information. More importantly, he was patient and found us a manatee. We were so pleased
