Customer Reviews for The Real Florida Adventure & Swim with Manatees

GREAT day out. Breakfast on the bus, Visit to a zoo, swimming with manatees ( glorious!! ) airboat ride ( got soaked!! ) Lunch and breakfast were ok, but nothing hot. The lady on the tour bus was SOO good!

A good day out. We didn't manage to see any manatees, but the operators tried their best and the rest of the day was very enjoyable.

Great to see the Manatees in there own environment. Very informative to hear how they are doing in the wild and that the population is slowly growing.

The swim with manatees was out of this world .i had never heard about the manatees until one of my friend mentioned them , so when I booked to go to Florida we looked into it and saw this on your web page and the tour included airboat ride and a wild life park with breakfast and lunch excellant will use you again

This was an excellent day with lots crammed in its excellent value for money. We were lucky to see Manatees in April so check the site for the best months before you go as sightings are not guaranteed at certain times of year. Dont forget to ring 72hrs before the trip to confirm your collection point. Lunch is included in the price but if you have any dietary requirements please ensure you tell them when you call 72hrs before the trip. The wildlife centre was lovely and we would have liked more time here. The airboat ride was the best we have ever done! The company Dolphin Tours were excellent and Madeline helped to make the trip excellent! Highly recommended.

One of the Best days out in Orlando! No stress and hassle of theme parks. A small bus outing with just a few people, the package incled a lot for the price! Really was a nice day out

Good attraction and price a bit rushed on the day by the opoerator

Easy to purchase no confusion

Very enjoyable day. Nice to do something different.

Experience of a lifetime, must do.

Madeline was a fantastic tour guide and bus driver rolled into one!! Amazing, lovely lady.

Top trip. Wonderful day all round. No complaints. The airboat ride was one of my favourite things from the whole holiday. Great fun.

This adventure tour, the staff and the experience was just amazing more than we could have dreamed of, my hubby even had a manatee come up to him to cuddle him and nibble his shoulders.

Absolutely wonderful. Full day and transport included.

Great fun. Shame there is no recycling facility fir all the lunch and breakfast wrappings !

This was a great day out. Everything ran smoothly, food provided was good and all the people involved were really friendly. Would reccommend this trip as a relaxing fun day out ( the airboat ride at the end of the day was great fun )

We had the best captain (Glen) on our boat he was fab and also Shelley as well. The whole experience was awesome and would recommend this to anyone.

It rained the whole journey but as soon as we were off the bus, ithe stopped thankfully! The guide was lovely and really enjoyed looking for the manatees. We didn't get to swim with them as the hurricane churned up their food so they had moved somewhere else, but we still had a good time and got to swim in the springs. The state park was great and the airboat ride was cool but not so many gators as it was hunting season.

Favourite part of my entire florida trip. Great swimming with these gentle giants. If i have a criticism it was the amount of people crowding tbe manatees. But they didnt seem to care. Airboat but ride was very good if a little short. Wildlife park chilled and relaxing.

The tour was excellent. The only thing that spoiled it was that the photos taken by tour guide when at Manatees were unavailable befor we had to leave

Brilliant

Excellent day and well worth the money to see Manatees in natural environment. Airboat ride was amazing also.

What a day. All you can eat breakfast, a trip across the whole state, swimming with manatees with about 1.5 hours in the water, a packed lunch, a lovely visit to a nature park and topped off with a cool airboat ride spotting several alligators in the wild. Greatest of days

Except for the lack of a vegetarian lunch it was brilliant

We had a great experience-only one manatee was around ( about 5 feet long)but water was clear and the creature was completely relaxed and apparently oblivious to the group. Instructors and boat captain were very friendly and informative and took lots of excellent photos

Captain Bryan went out of his way to find us some manatees

An amazing experience & really good value for money. Would strongly recommend .

a very enjoyable day, very busy.

Good event let down by fellow tourists. Dive leader lost a bit of control hence the groups were almost fighting over spots to see the manatees.

Fullpacked day. Probably not the best time to do the manatee swim because the water was so muddy but we got to swim with one mom manatee and baby.

We did that tour at the beginning of April and we didn't see any Manatees..The captain explained that the best time to see them is from November -February so you should really advise your clients that! Very disappointing! The rest of the tour was very good

Fantastic opportunity at a great price.

Great value day out

Perfect as always.

excellent value for money, great guides

This was excellent value for money and included a buffet breakfast which had not previously been mentioned in the itinary. Even though it was not the peak season the manatees were still around. Wonderful experience.

Loved it and driver Clark was lovely. A credit to the company.

Another excellent day out ....great fun ... enjoyed every minuite ... and to swim with the manatees was a super experience ......

Remember to go between december and end of february for your best chance to see manatee in the wild

Very worthwhile tour, visiting 3 good locations. The manatee experience although not to be missed is quite dependant on the weather and time of year. Our visit in October was not the best conditions due to the water being so mucky and cloudy. This is due to nature and not the tour company I hasten to add but something to consider if this is a lifetimes dream activity. I think the $10 wet suit hire charge is a bit naughty and should be included in the tour price even if it is added to the ticket. No one likes surprise add on's. Would I recommend this tour? Yes definitely. If you tried to organise your own trip from Orlando it would cost a whole lot more and probably a nights accommodation near the activities, not to mention the cost of fuel and missing out on the reps knowledge and commentary.

It was an amazing tour! Such a great day. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would do it again.

fantastic day, have done this excursion 3 times now, always touched manatees and loved the springs.

Excellent trip, really enjoyed the whole day from start to finish. Well organised. The snorkelling with the manatees was a highlight!! The wildlife park & airboat ride added to the enjoyment of the day. Would definitely recommend

This tour was excellent value for money - swim with manatees, Homosassa Wildlife Park and an Airboat ride plus breakfast and lunch! Swimming with the manatees was a brillinat experience. The tour guides were very informative and friendly.

My nephew and sister went on this day out and they said it was fantastic. So much to see and do throughout the day they would definitely book another trip out like this.

Fantastic trip. Highly recommended

It was amazing! Our host was brilliant & all 3 attractions were brilliant.
