Glow Tour - I did a glow night tour with Ashley & we had such a good time! She told us so many interesting & fun facts that I had never heard before. She was super friendly and offered to take some pictures of my friend & I. Though we didn’t get to see any manatees, we plan on coming back at a later time this year for another tour. It was such a cool experience that I would recommend to anyone.

Relaxing eco tour - Davis was an excellent tour guide. We were disappointed that we didn’t see the beautiful water shown in many of these photos but we know it is not in the tour company’s control. We did see 5-6 manatees which was incredible. They are such majestic animals. I would recommend this tour to others. The only thing that would have made this better was if the water was the color in these photos.

Fabulous Manatee Adventure! - This tour entirely exceeded my expectations! While the water wasn’t as clear due to the recent rain, our guide Davis was soooo wonderful! I didn’t expect to see ANY manatees this time of year, but thanks to his keen eye, we saw FIVE! And he was so kind to take fabulous pictures and send them to us! He was so knowledgeable and personable, patiently answering all my annoying plant questions. I contemplated taking a cheap no guide kayak tour, but so glad I didn’t! I highly recommend this outfitter, and I highly recommend Davis! A truly memorable experience!

Davis is GREAT!! - Davis was an exceptional tour guide that made sure we were safe and well taken care of. His knowledge of the Weeki Wachee springs was eye opening and he pointed out every creature out there that we happened to pass. Davis is a wonderful guide and I would definitely ask for him if I were to do this tour again.
