We encountered so many manatees; it was an incredible experience that I highly recommend. My husband and I went with our 14-year-old and 6-year-old.

A wonderful manatee experience
This experience was absolutely delightful, and we're thrilled we chose to do it. Although we encountered some strong winds and waves at the beginning, we persevered and reached the river where the water became calm and stunning. We spotted around 15 manatees along with numerous turtles in the most beautiful crystal-clear water. The owner and his family were friendly and provided great assistance. I highly recommend this for an authentic Florida day trip.
