During summer months the majority of the manatees migrate, which leaves us with a handful of resident manatees spread out around the bay. We have been getting lucky and finding manatees closer to the springs than we have during past summers. The grass restoration project in the Hunter Springs basin has kept the manatees closer to the clear water, which has resulted in some great tours this summer! We always recommend the 6am manatee snorkel tour, there tends to be more manatees, less people, and a better chance of interaction at that time! Scallop season runs from July 1st to September 24th, and we offer scallop hunting snorkel tours every day during season! We don’t have as many scallops as we have had in the past, but we are still having a great time out on the water looking for these tasty treasures!
