Incredible day on the water. Even though there are less manatees during warmer months we were able to interact with 5-6 manatees including a mama and her baby. Sean was our captain and was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I can't say enough good things about the River Ventures facility, our captain, and the experience of giving a manatee a belly...

Amazing experience. As a lover of manatees, seeing these animals in their natural habitat was unreal. Captain Sean, who grew up in the area, got in the water with us and even helped me, a poor swimmer, get into a position to touch some of the most curious manatees. What is even more touching is the knowledge and full out... More

Went out at 6 am this morning, our Captain Sean was brilliant so helpful, professional and great to be with. We have just done four days at Disney world, I hate to say it but the experience was sooo much better than Mickey Mouse sorry Disney. Not only did we see lots of Manatees and was able to lightly stroke... More

On a girls trip from Michigan, we chose to swim with the Manatees. The entire staff was great. Steve was a wonderful captain. We want to come back with our families and do it again. Will do the 6:15am tour in the winter so the water is clearer and there are more manatees. Today we saw dolphins, manatees, got to... More

We have a 21 yr old girl, 20yr old boy,18 yr old girl and our 16 year old boy had his birthday that day. Captain Steve was awesome! Very knowledgable, friendly and managed to take some great pics for us. This is a once... More

WOW this was by far the best day out. Our only regret was not to have done it sooner, so we could go back again, as left it till one of the last things to do. if you have a car then drive youself as only $45 pp as opposed to $80pp the tour company was charging. We spent approximately... More

We had an unforgettable experience with Captain Steve. He was so supportive of our family and my 8 year old daughter. He was ready to stay as long as it took to have a magical experience for each and every guest. He went the extra distance to make us all feel comfortable and then took us to the Three Sisters...

We were appropriately advised by this company to take the 6:30am tour because there are fewer boats and people and a greater opportunity to see the manatees. They were right. In addition to beating many boats in the area, the weather was better earlier than the 9:30 tour when the wind picked up. Although it was raining a bit on... More

Great tour. We dropped in without reservation and they did everything to get us on a tour. Due to the wind it was hard to spot manatees, but our tour guide donovan made sure Everyone on the boat was able to float with a manatee and we all where able too touch a baby manatee because it came at us...
