    Check in at Pete’s Pier Marina inside the gift shop with the “Pete’s Pier Gift Shop” signage and ask for “Go Local.”

    Stop looking for a manatee tour! You have found it. Great guides, captains. Only small groups (ous was 4 persons). All the pictures are sent to you on the same day. Great local knowledge from the team. We swam with 3 manatees and had the best time. Would recommend a 100%.
