Are you able to take your own cameras ( GoPro ) on the tours ? I see they take / sell phots they take but would also like to take my own .

is the price the same if some in our family want to stay in the boat? some want to swim or snorkel Are there other boat tour only tours?

I was considering booking an SUP tour, and wondering if it would be suitable for a beginner? Or should we consider kayaking instead?

Is boat heated? If yes, which tour has the heated boat?

We are a family of 30 people ranging in age from 12-79. We will be there and looking forward to having a good time together, arriving December 27 and leaving December 30. We want to pre-plan some activities. Not everyone will join in on all activities, but for sure some of our group will want to swim with manatees if that would be permitted. How many could you take out at any given time? What might the weather be like and will there be manatees out and about (I suspect so, but want to hear it from you). We are not a rowdy group. Thank you for your kindness in considering our question.

How many boats/snorkelers are at one location at a time? I'm wondering if there's a lot of people in the water trying to get a glimpse of one or two manatees at a time? Are there multiple locations with many groups of manatees?

Can you see the manatees from the boat? We have a few members of our party who may not want to get into the water.

Is there any kayak retal and training for beginners？

Hi, is the guided paddle tour suitable for kayaking beginners?

Hi, my family and I already purchased a swim with the manatees with your company for next week. We have a 3 yr old, 6 yr old and a 39 yr old. dad. (5 in total) =) We are not the greatest of swimmers, can't really tread water on our own. Can we explore more shallow parts of the springs? What is your suggestion for us? My three yr old probably won't snorkel. If one of my kids got spooked can they stay in the boat? Thank you.
