Swim with manatees in Crystal River on a six-person tour with wetsuits, guides, photos, hot drinks, and a strong focus on animal care.

“My aunt and I decided to do the manatee swim unknowingly on Manatee festival weekend so the crowds were at their peak. It made booking with a small group all the more better as we had so many more opportunities to see the manatees with less water disturbance from a big group and making it easy to move from area to area. Our guides gave us plenty of time and when we were ready to get out we didn’t have to sit on the water and wait in the cold. We were ready to head back to the dock with our park and warm drinks.”

My absolute favorite part of the tour is the pictures and videos that we leave with! Jon is very entertaining and an even better photographer. We had a group of 8, and he was very patient and made sure to capture all of the moments that we wanted to capture. We plan on bringing more family to LA on our next trip, and we will be booking with Jon again!”

See Atlanta after dark on a small-group tour with skyline photo stops, local history, and dinner at Krog Street Market.

“The tour guide was very knowledgeable and used a monitor facing the passengers as a guide. His use of the monitor helped with our understanding of the history of many of the stops. This tour takes place primarily at night. We saw and took pictures of a number of great city scenes at night. The tour director took us by a few sites that we looked at with a large spot light. We considered going back to see them in the daylight but ran out of time. This is a very good tour if you are interested in the sites and the history behind them.”

“We received a call asking us if changing the time to earlier was okay because the northern lights were starting to become more active than expected. We were very happy they touched bases with us. Grace and her photographer David had over 30 locations to view the lights. The 3 locations they took us to were amazing. The viewing did not disappoint and the pictures they took were great. Having their photographer take pictures really captured this a once in a lifetime experience. After 3 hours of chasing, they would have kept going. Make sure you have your faces exposed to see them in the pictures. David captured us gazing…”
