We took an afternoon tour of the manatees on Feb 5th. Our guard promised we would see them for sure. Indeed we saw several of them on the tour. Our guide was both informational and interesting. She told us about the history of the area, the local foliage, and most importantly about the life of the lovely creatures we had a chance to see. She turned a chilly day into a rich and warming experience for our small group. Great job, I would recommend these folks to anyone looking for a manatee tour.

First part of trip was great…many manatees seen. Second part was a tour of the river but no manatees seen just a history of the area and views of the river houses. Would have liked to spend more time in the areas the manatees were. Also, the guests should be encouraged to mute their phones…could not hear the tour guide as some guests rudely answered their phones and had loud conversations.

Will definitely go with Capn Brody again, when its a little warmer than 45 degrees. Looking forward to swimming with the manatees in the near future.

So glad we did this...ages ranged from mid 60's to 12 years old. We all had a great time. Staff was fantastic to work with. This is why they are #1 with TripAdvisor.
