You will see a manatee, but beware of there shady practices
ASHESH_S

While the bus driver and the tour guide themselves were pretty good, our snorkeling experience was terrible. We did see a manatee, but their snorkeling partner is money hungry business that made our group wait for an hour on the boat so that they could pad on 3 more passengers. I would not recommend this operator to anyone, unless they have revised their partners.
Manatee, park, and airboat ride.

Enjoyed the tours and the GREAT cool temperature on the bus after being out in the heat. Wife loved the manatees, the state park was nice, and the airboat ride was fairly tame being at a place called Wild Bills. Only complaint is they should have more than 1 bottle of water per person for an 11 hour tour. At least have an ice chest of different drinks for sale during the day. That's WAY too long and WAY too hot for one bottle of water.
Was very nice. The dive...

This was a great experience and I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Florida. Swimming with the manatees was an absolute privilege, such beautiful, peaceful creatures. The air boat ride was amazing! The whole family loved this experience and would do it again in a heartbeat!! All the tour guides were attentive and well informed, the food provided was more than adequate.

The bus ride was nice. Ricky put on a movie and we ate our box breakfast. We started with the manatee adventure. The whole process was fairly simple for a novice. Our Captain Casey was helpful and knowledgeable. Tonya our guide was great. On to the park. Box lunch on the bus. The food was good. I enjoyed walking through the park. Then to the air boat ride. This was a blast. Enjoyed the whole day. Thank you all.

Had the best time. The tour guide James and driver Terrance were amazing, the guides at the manatee adventure and the airboat were also great and super knowledgeable. Food wasn’t amazing but still great to have included with the trip! The manatees were incredible to hang with, and airboat was short but fun. Overall we all had a blast.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
