The 'OG' Manatee Snorkel Tour with In-Water Guide/Photographer

Jessica_M, Sep 2026

Best Family adventure Ever!!

We had JJ and Doug as our guide. They knew so much about the in and out of of the whole area. They taught us so much about the manatees and all the other sea life we saw. We learned about the history of everything. Very knowledgeable and very chill and friendly. They were killer amazing with the kids. We have 3 kids 13,11 and 5. Not only did they goof and play with them but they taught them how to snorkel and showed them amazing time . My baby has special Needs and was getting upset at first and another instructor from another tour Celeste came over calmed him down and he was smiling and loving the manatees. They were all good friends and all helped each other out. It was like every one was so nice and all friends. This was the best experience we had and I would do it again and again. We even got pictures that were amazing!! We saw so many manatees. We saw mama and her baby, them swimming and in big groups. We saw them sleeping and eating. Way bigger in person. They come right up to face fro face with you. They are so adorable!!!

Best time in PCB!!!

Captain Alex and his lil deck hand Grey was amazing. They were both very knowledgeable about everything and they made sure we had a great time and stayed safe. Alex was very down to earth and easy to talk too. He made sure we got to see the dolphins and got a butt ton of shells and sand dollars. If you’re looking for a laid back dolphin and shell finding tour, he is definitely the one to pick. We will definitely use him again, maybe on this trip. Those 2 guys were AMAZING!!!

Christian Captain

I came to PCB with my friend and our children. I wanted to my kids to experience gulf life. Our boat captain was a God send! I worried what he would be like because I’ve done these things else where. Chez was a captain who took time to explain and answer all the questions they had. He even got in the water with them to find sand dollars and hermit crabs when arriving to shell island. We all had an amazing time, worth every penny and peace of mind. He even sang Forest Frank song with them!

Fantastic tour! Brittany...

Fantastic tour! Brittany was a great guide that knew exactly where to go to be away from the larger tours. She was fantastic with kids, spending the time to teach them how to find and identify shark teeth and fish bones. She brought us snorkeling in a kid safe spot, to a beautiful beach, and to a spot frequented by sea turtles. We were lucky enough to see both the turtles and dolphins. Great private tour - highly recommend

Awesome experience!

Very well organized. From start to finish. All of the staff and Boat captains are amazing. Highly recommend. I also enjoy the fact that it was a great amount of time. Some of the other snorkel trips are much longer. That’s great if that’s what you enjoy, but this is a great opportunity to fit an activity in your day, but not take up the whole day.
