“What a great time with Wade and Sheila! We got up close with two adults and a baby. Safe clearly explained the different sensations floating in a wetsuit which was invaluable information. Shelia was about to keep our whole group, 7 adults, together and active and one of the adult manatees came right up to her to play before he moved on to play with another person in our group. We all had a great time and my husband and I will definitely come back the next time we’re in town.”

“Mandy and John have an amazing tour! We were the only people in our tour, and we were able to have personal instruction and time with the manatees.
