Amazing experience with the manatees
We did the 3 hour Manatee tour with Captain Ron and it was amazing! We got to swim with and pet lots of manatees. We were in the perfect spot...they just kept coming. We even saw some dolphins and monkeys right when we got on the boat. Captain Ron did a great job instructing us on where and how to swim up to the manatees so we wouldn't scare them away. The tips were great and listening sure paid off! This was an experience of a lifetime! Highly recommend it. And Captain Wyn was so patient with answering all of my questions when booking. He even talked us out of spending the extra money on a stand-up paddleboard, knowing we wouldn't have enough time to use it. Thanks for saving us the extra $50! This tour will give long lasting memories!

Highly recommend this great company
My party of six thoroughly enjoyed our trip last weekend! There were two “manateeing newbies” in our group (I was one of them), and the captain was so knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. Captain Dwayne gave us a wonderful trip! We saw numerous manatees and enjoyed an area that was not overcrowded with other tour boats. He even helped point manatee locations out to us when he was on the boat and we were in the water. This tour group is very professional and attentive. They offered us hot chocolate after we got back on the boat and changed - that was a wonderful help in warming us back up. The enclosed boat was also a big advantage - other people out there on open boats looked pretty uncomfortable due to the chilly weather! Four people in our group have previously gone on a manatee tour with Blue Heaven and with Captain Dwayne. There’s a reason they came back - these guys are great!

Amazing manatee tour with Captain Ron
After much research and I chose Blue Heaven for our manatee encounter due to their great reviews and competitive price. We booked the early morning private C Dory tour but were upgraded to their deluxe 20ft pontoon boat with Captain Ron at the helm. The whole morning was truly unforgettable. Captain Ron was so knowledgeable and his expertise meant he found a very quiet spot where we got to experience such a magical encounter with these wonderfully gentle mammals. He was extremely engaging with our 13 year old son and helped him to understand how to just float still so that the manatees will approach you. Even a week after our trip, we are all still on such a high from this much anticipated tour and feel so lucky to have had Captain Ron to help us make the most of our manatee encounter. Thank you so much PS - we have come home to the UK with 2 boxes of Swiss Miss marshmallow hot chocolate mix!!
