    Three Sisters Spring. Captain Fred taught us that Jacques Cousteau rehabilitated "Sewer Sam" (manatee trapped in a Miami sewer system) here.

    Awesome adventure! My friend, her son and I spent the afternoon with Captain Fred as he told us all about the area, manatee preservation, and most importantly had lots of jokes up his sleeves. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable and funny. I honestly felt like he was an old friend, and not someone I just met. The private tour allowed us to relax, and not feel rushed with others on the boat which made for a much nicer experience. Is it pricier than others in the area? Sure, but not by much and for me it was well worth it. They also include snorkeling gear and wet suits in the price which is a bonus. What a beautiful area, and amazing chance to see manatees up close and personal. I have mixed feelings about having so many people in such close proximity of them, mainly because there are some real idiots out there that have no respect for animals. Having said that it's good to know that there are volunteers and park officials constantly monitoring the area to keep these endangered animals safe and hefty fines/jail time for anyone not following the rules. There's no question that I will be going back soon, and I'll definitely make sure to ask for Fred to do our tour.

    Awesome!!

    My 8 yr old son and I went out today with Captain Greg and we had a blast!!! The best part was that it was just us and we really had a special trip. We saw many other larger tours that were flailing all over in the water which is the worst thing you can do when swimming with Manatees. You could tell Greg really loved the gentle creatures and knew exactly where to see them. He was a doll and I highly recommend his private tour over a big group!! We will be back next year for sure!!

    Very disappointing experience at Three Sisters Springs. During our Florida vacation we visited…read moreseven parks from Fort De Soto up to this area and had great experiences everywhere else. When we arrived, the parking attendant directed us to park across the street and said we could pay at the gate or the visitor center. When we returned to the gate it was closed and the attendant had stepped away with a sign saying to wait or go to the visitor center, so we assumed we could pay there. When we reached the buildings we were aggressively approached by a volunteer named Cyndi Stone who immediately accused us of breaking federal laws and sneaking in. We tried to explain the misunderstanding but she was not interested in listening. The interaction was embarrassing and unnecessarily confrontational. We were clearly tourists unfamiliar with the setup and would have happily paid the fee if approached respectfully. Instead, the situation ruined the visit and we chose to leave. On the way out a different person at the gate apologized, which we appreciated, but clearer instructions and a more respectful approach would make a big difference for visitors.

    Do you want to see Manatees in the wild? Come here!…read more Late November to early March these wonderous creature come to the warmer inlets of the gulf and like to habg out here at the 3 sister's spring, where the water is 72°F year round, and crystal clear. The grounds of the spring head are nicely kept, and contain a nicely informative walk. Come see the floaty potatoes!
