Bring your underwater camera and enjoy a close up with the gentle giants, endless sunsets and refreshing spring waters.

Swimming with the manatees was something I always wanted to do and I finally got to do it! What an amazing experience it was to spend time with these gentle giants. We spent quite a bit of time underwater with the manatees, watching them, listening to them munching on grass off the river bottom, and seeing them interact. Watching the babies with their moms was particularly fun. It was a beautiful and educational experience and I highly recommend it!
We'll plan the trip!
