Fun 2 Dive - Swim with Manatees

And you get 3 hours with the manatees! (I went with a different outfitter another time for about the same cost and only got an hour.)...

👍 The discovery center is nice but it is not the star of the show at Circle B, it is trails and nature preserve surrounding the center. That is where the real experiences are. Visit the center as a primer to an amazing experience on the trails.
