Amazing Tour! - Amazing Morning Tour with captain Wade and our guide Trish. They were so friendly, kind and Full of knowlege! Amazing to see these calm but BIG animals in their natural habitat :)

BEST DAY EVER! - Our Guides Trisha and Wade were wonderful and very knowledgeable! Such a fun experience would definitely do it again!

Incredible experience - This was the highlight of our Florida holiday. We were a group of 6 three adults and three teenagers aged 12, 13 & 14. This experience was fantastic from start to finish, our guide Brian talked us through the safety briefing and answered any questions we had then got us sized up for our wetsuits. You are able to leave belongings in the lockers and take a bag with you on the short bus ride to the dock, we were met there by our captain JJ who gave us a boat specific safety briefing again giving opportunity to ask questions. Both JJ and Brian made us feel really comfortable and at ease. One member of our party was not confident in the water and Brian worked with them in the water to feel calm and comfortable and get the most out of the experience. We had three opportunities to get in the spring and swim with different manatees, and Brian and JJ made sure that all of us had great 1 to 1 experiences with the manatees. We really couldn’t have asked for more. They were really knowledgeable about manatees and the area and we felt like we learnt a lot. We were staying in Kissimmee doing all the theme park stuff and drove up for the day, we wanted an experience in Florida nature and this was perfect. It was 2 ½ hours each way, lovely country route, really nice to see ‘real Florida’ if you are in two minds do this! Was a lovely change of pace from the parks. The photos and videos are well worth it, 73 photos and 14 videos from the go pro which Brian had in the water for $41 a bargain! Thank you Brian and JJ a day we will never forget!

Capt. Chris and Guide James are the best! - My friends and I took the Manatee tour while visiting florida and we had such a great time! Our guide James and Captain Chris were awesome and very informative about the florida wildlife. They told us fun stories and facts about the area. They answered all of our questions and had us laughing the whole trip. We got the opportunity to see several manatees and they made us feel really comfortable being in the water. I definitely recommend the VIP tour it was absolutely worth it. I definitely have a new love and appreciation for these gentle giants after this tour. 10/10 would recommend!

A unique experience - I was with my family (4 people) on the Manatee snorkel tour of River Ventures in August. We had a semi-private tour with max. 6 people booked, but were then alone on the boat. Since there are very few manatees at the springs in August, we decided, according to internet research, directly on the very first tour at 6:30 am and were enthusiastic. Our guide Michael and our captain Troy somehow made the impossible possible. We were greeted on the river with a beautiful sunrise. Have been able to experience a manatee mom and her baby without many other snorkelers. Unbelievable. And a visit to the Three Sisters Springs, which we had completely to ourselves. We know that we were very lucky to experience this in August, all the more we were happy about it. A unique experience for our whole family that we no longer be quickly forgotten. A big thank you to our guide Michael and to our Captain Troy.

Amazing experience! - We saw several manatees, experienced an extraordinary boat ride with amazing views, and enjoyed our knowledgeable guides, Chris and Sheila! Unforgettable!

Awesome trip! - We had a great trip! Captain Chris and our guide, Mike, were wonderful! We not only got to swim with a manatee, but checked out a natural spring up close, and went looking for an alligator - and found one. They were really nice.

Highlight of our trip! - Sheila was great with my kiddos, helping me get them up to the manatee so they could see her up close. Sheila & Irish Dave were amazing tour guides & when we come back we are definitely going to ask for them again.

Amazing! - We had such a fun trip with Captain Chris and Sheila! We got to swim with a momma and baby! We also seen another momma with two more babies. It was so neat, i think return later in the year would be so fun to be able to experience when there are more in the area! Definitely recommend going!

Anticipation - Since it was right after a hurricane and it was summer time, it was hard to find manatees. The gudes were very helpful! Personally I enjoyed riding the boat and floating in the river searching for manatees. We would really like to come back to see them again.❤
