Reviews
Adam was a great tour guide and our kids really took to him. He went above an beyond to make our day exciting and keep us on track. Unfortunately, we didnt get to see manatees due to the season. So I'd highly recommend taking this tour during the winter/spring months. Water was not crystal blue as seen in pictures, in fact it was quite murky. However, there is still visibility when the manatees are present. Lunch was a nice size box. Including a drink, chips, cookies, and a sandwich. The state park was a good afternoon walk with some cool birds, manatees and reptiles. Wild Bill's Airboat tour was great. We got to see a few alligators and got a couple thrills.
Adam was a great guide and made the trip very fun. However, I wish they would not advertise crystal clear water and manatees in the pictures if it is not like that year round. We are not from here and did not know until we showed up and the manatee company started to tell us that the water is very murky and muddy during the summer and that almost all the manatees have left the area. They need to add that to the description so people like us didn’t waste $400 on something that was not worth it. And the airboat ride was just fine… didn’t meet our expectations like it has in the past.
Adam was a great guy, great entertainer and a very outgoing guy, no complaints there, now the manatee and the airboat ride did not meet our expectations definitely the manatee swimming/ snorkeling. False advertisement.
