Traveler reviews
Excellent local experience!
I took a tour with some friends; I am a local, but I had never been on an official dolphin/manatee tour! Jesse was our guide; he helped ease my anxieties about being on a paddle board, as it was my first time! He was so knowledgeable and definitely made all of us feel safe. I’m definitely going to book again. Thank you Jesse!!
Family fun!
Jesse was knowledgeable and a great guide. A lot of fun!
Amazing Experience!
Jessie was amazing!! We are from Colorado and it was so much fun to see the manatees and dolphins:) He did an amazing job!!
Glowing review
We had amazing experience. We were visiting for volleyball nationals and wanted to do a few excursions. I was nervous to be on the water at night but our guide Jack put me at ease right away. Not only did we get a great water experience, we also got a great history lesson on the area and the waterways. We experienced the bioluminescent algae, caught glowing comb jellies and saw some playful manatees. Highly recommend!
5 stars!
Captain Kurt was awesome! We seen so many dolphins and breeding manatees. We will definitely be booking another tour next time we are in Florida.
