I cannot say enough food things about Captains Ed and Mike. We got there at 7:00, and we were off the boat and in the water by 7:15 with the manatees. They were ready to go and every helpful and informative! They didn't rush us and put up with my anxiousness about getting in the waters. Captain Mike pulled us around to see the manatees and the tarpon that were in the waters. They took the time to get us up close and personal. The manatees were so friendly, posed to pictures with us, and even rolled over for belly rubs! We had an absolute blast. You could tell that the captains had a genuine love for these animals; there was an injured manatee, and they called the right people to get her the attention and care that she needed. When we boarded the boat, there was hot chocolate and coffee to warm you up, and the wet suits were nice and thick to keep you warm as we were here in December. I could go on and on about our tour guides, but I'll just say that they were so much fun to hang out with and come highly recommended!nnI would highly recommend Plantation Adventure Tours and even check out staying here! We previously had our room accommodations booked, but I would highly consider staying at the Plantation on my next trip! The grounds are absolutely beautiful!

Rented a boat for a few days and had a blast. The dive shop staff were super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them for any of your water sports needs.

This is our 3rd year renting a pontoon boat from the Plantation Dive Shop. The boats are in good condition and they give you a great map to navigate the area. The prices are fair and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. We love having the opportunity to rent here each year we visit.

Had a great time on this trip. Although the weather was not the greatest the staff made the trip fun and was full of great information. The snorkeling was new for me but our guide was very helpful and made sure that I was ok and was sure to check on me. The only downside to the trip was the manatees were hard to find. We only saw about 12 or so but they were not in the mood to hang out with us. Overall this was a great time and will be doing it again. Free parking in front of the shop and coffee and hot chocolate on the boat.

This review is for the boat rental we used over Labor Day weekend. We have been locals to this county for generations and wanted to have the family out together so we rented one of their pontoons and it was a great experience. The deckhands were very helpful and courteous (chris and Ryan) and made the on boarding process easy for our family. The front desk staff were very nice and welcoming as well. Plantation is the place to if you want to take the day and see the river. I will be using them for all of my boat rental needs in the future.
