Manatees are a federally protected species… here is what you should know…

There are lots of rules and regulations that come along with swimming with manatees, and for good reason. Our manatees are wild animals and we want to keep them that way. That said, taking a guided swim tour on a boat with a professional company will ensure that you will have a memorable and safe manatee experience. By thoroughly covering all rules and regulations, helping you to understand the animals behavior, and providing an in water swim guide, we ensure that all interactions are respectful of our manatees while giving you the best experience possible.
