What to expect
Our goal is to simply deliver a river tour that is all about nature's beauty, fun, and adventure! We want to make you as comfortable as possible and help you have what we will hope to be nothing short of a magical experience.
After a short boat ride, you will slip into the water with the manatees. The manatees will slowly approach you. Our county is the only location in the United States where you can legally touch a manatee (provided they initiate the contact-and they will!). You will float or gently swim with the manatees. You can take pictures or the captain will take pictures for you for free.
After enjoying these magnificent creatures, warm up on our heated boats. Cruise around Monkey Island to see our resident spider monkeys while sipping yummy hot chocolate!
