A wonderful boat tour with manatee sightings and fantastic explanations from the captain! We absolutely loved it! Family Adventure is highly recommended! Everything went perfectly! We had to search for manatees for quite a while in July, but our captain didn't give up and even extended our tour time. In the end, we were rewarded with a snorkeling session with a manatee. That was truly amazing. Thank you again so much. Best regards from Germany, Carsten & family.
