    Went out of season so unsure if we would actually see any manatees but the boat captain and our guide Celeste were excellent at spotting the signs and we swam alongside one and watched another sleeping. The springs were lovely and clear and we saw crabs, bass and mullet. There were only to 2 of us booked on the tour but it went ahead anyway which we were v appreciative of. Great trip!
