We made memories my family will have forever! I can not say enough about how amazing our experience was. We went with Capt Mark and Courtney. They were extremely knowledgeable, safe and personable. The 5mm wetsuits were wonderful and kept us warm and buoyant. Capt Mark was was a wealth of information, and put you right at ease. Courtney gets in the water with you and should be called the Manatee whisperer! The manatees just seem to come right to her. Courtney taught us so much about manatees that we didn't know before. Both Mark and Courtney kept a watchful eye on you and went out of their way to make sure you had an amazing time. It was a dream come true! HIGHLY recommend them!…

Review of: Swim with Manatees Adventure
This adventure was an amazing experience, and I would recommend to anyone wanting to get up close with the manatees. You can just show up and not have to worry about bringing a bunch of equipment. They provide wetsuits, towels, snorkels, hot chocolate or coffee, and in-water pictures and videos. The crew members, Mark and Courtney, made the trip much more memorable and made sure everyone was having fun while keeping the manatees safe.…
