I understand this is a question many of you have: Who do I pick?
If you're just looking to get out on the water, find the best wildlife scenic tour, or lounge like a local out in the Gulf, hands down Nature Coast Water Adventures is the best choice.
However, if you're looking to actually get into the water—exploring the beautiful, crystal-clear spring water of King's Bay, Three Sisters, Hunter Springs, and King Spring to swim with manatees—there's only one place I recommend: Sea Cow Safaris.
Sea Cow Safaris is owned and operated by Max Schelstrate, a local captain who has been in the manatee industry for years and offers a truly top-tier trip.
If you want to get face-to-face with these incredible creatures, give Mac a call at 352-257-7868 or visit them online at seacowsafaris.com. He's a great captain, an even better guide, and the absolute place to go when you want to jump in.
