EXCEPTIONAL!!!!! We had Evan as our captain and Grace as our guide in the water. This was a private boat tour to snorkel with manatees. I brought 5 kids with me, ages 6-13 and they all loved it!!! They even showed us one of the natural springs. I learned this time of year isn’t the best to see a lot but they worked hard to find some to snorkel alongside. Grace and Evan were both so very knowledgeable about manatee life and the local area. They could answer all questions (most of which were thrown at them by my curious 6 yr old). If we had more time I would have definitely booked the scalloping adventure with them. I really can’t say enough about how kind and genuine they were. Thank you so much Grace and Evan!

Love love love this tour!! I swam with the manatees 2 feet away from my face and it was so cool! Me and my family unintentionally got a boat all to ourselves with our boat driver Evan and our guide Grace who were both so so awesome! We wanted a fun activity to do for our Florida family vacation and this was just calling to us! We got so so close, without touching of course, and it was so neat! The guides care about the animals very much so of course we weren’t allow to touch or stress out the animals. We gave them space and it was a very cool observation experience. Plus Evan and Grace were awesome tour guides and answered all my little kid heart desired questions! I would highly highly recommend!!

Had an amazing experience today with Jake and Hina! There is no other company that is better than this! Very knowledgeable and pleasant conversations in addition to individualized experience and photos! The boat tours only take 6 passengers at a time which enhances the manatee experience. Highly recommended!

My friend and I did the manatee tour and it was amazing! Hina & Dylan went above and beyond to get us the best look at multiple manatees. They took us to a really cool spring area where we saw manatees, schools of fish, and diving ducks. 10/10 recommend!

My family and I decided to stop through town then it was brought upon us that this wasnt only the town to see manatees but the spot where we would be able to swim with them!! Even though we know Summer time isn’t the best time to see Manatees, we still took our chances and got a last minute tour booked. With the help of Grace and Evan we got to see multiple manatees while being able to swim with them!! Grace our tour guide helped us see a baby manatee, baby manatees are very friendly!! Evan and Grace where both very knowledgeable whether it was fun facts, laws, or even just simple insights they had. We couldn’t have asked for any better of a tour!! They also provided everything you needed! Wet suits, anti-fog spray, and clean scuba masks/snorkles even fun noodles to help float you while viewing the manatees!

I will be coming back to visit next time we are in town!

We are a family of five visiting from the UK, and we just had the most incredible experience doing a manatee snorkelling tour with Nature’s Discovery. Our guides were Hina and Dylan and they were absolutely fantastic; so knowledgeable and helpful, working really hard to give us the best possible experience. We learnt so much about these fascinating creatures and were very lucky to spend a long time up close with a mother and baby manatee. We received a lot of guidance on how to passively observe and found the manatees just came to us. Our guides also shared lots of interesting facts about the local area. This really was a magical once in a life time experience and we would wholeheartedly recommend this company, and in particular Hina and Dylan. Thank you!

My family and I had the very best experience! The tour guide Hina was AMAZING. She was so patient and gave us the very best experience. She was so informative. Jake and Dylan were incredibly kind and helped with our little ones who were afraid and helped make the best of their first experience.
I will be booking again! My family and I could not recommend this company more.
