Mike was super nice and we got to see different animals. We saw dolphins, manatees and a sting ray. We even had a dolphin swim right under the boat!

We had a wonderful time. It was a rare opportunity for my step-dad with Parkinson’s to get out and our guide was very accommodating. It meant a lot that they talked boats and my step-dad was able to tell some of his stories. We saw dolphin within 5 minutes of starting the trip and then made a special excursion to see manatee. It was awesome!!

Großartiges Erlebnis. Mike hat uns genau dahin geführt, wo wir Delfine und Manatees hautnah erleben konnten. Direkt neben dem Boot. Freundlich und dennoch im Hintergrund, hat er alles gemacht, um uns ein schönes Erlebnis zu bieten
