This is a top experience for our family!! We saw so many manatees! And got so close to them! Explorida employees were amazing from start to finish- even when I had to change our tour time because we were to far away. They are helpful and friendly and so informative. We will absolutely be back again!!

Captain Gavin and Madelyn were our guides. My 3 year old was on Madelyn’s back the whole time. These 2 are absolutely amazing people and I would do this all over again. Probably by myself but it’s an amazing experience. I recommend going with these 2. Madelyn stayed on top of the manatees for the whole crew to see them while my wild 3 yr old was on her back. That’s impressive! I’m very thankful and so pleased! They were the best!
