    I had a stressful day. I didn't know what I needed was to listen to manatees chewing. Somehow that just softened everything for me. Thank you, manatees, and Trackers.

    I got emotional when seeing the baby manatee so cute! I love these videos of showing other things to do in Florida. Often more than the park videos. 🥰

    I like these videos where you go to other attractions in Florida. Everyone goes to the parks and it can get a bit repetitive watching everyone do the same things.
    I like seeing all the wildlife parks!

    This hippo pooped on me!! I was just a young kid from NY who was VERY excited to see a hippo in real life!! I went running up and he went spraying out! Lol I have been trying to remember where this happened so thanks for solving a lifelong mystery I’ve always wondered about!! Once I saw the water and the underground observation I remembered that this was the place!!

    Hi, this was really nice. It's nice to get out and see the beauty of nature. The Manatees are so magestic and the underwater footage was awesome. I hope to be able to see all these amazing animals in Florida someday. We have zoos and stuff around my home towns, but nothing like this. The footage was so beautiful. Thanks Tim, it's great to see all the different things you can see in Florida and not just the amazing theme parks. Nice editing to ,Jenn. This was great, Thanks. Be safe and take care ❣️💕

    One of the happiest memories I have was snorkeling in Crystal River in December. It was a trip with the Pre Vet Club while I was a freshman at UF. I didn't know anyone with me, but I decided it was a trip I didn't want to miss out on even if I was by myself, and boy was I right! Sooooo many manatees! I couldn't move 4 feet without one bumping into me, rolling over, begging for a scritch! Truly a magical memory ✨

    This looked like such a fun and relaxing day! Looks like Real Florida Adventures would be a good way for us non-Floridians to see and experience Florida. Being originally from Montana and then Seattle, going to Florida is almost like going to a different planet it is so different. One of the reasons we love traveling there for vacations. Love starting my morning with the Trackers and coffee!

    I was very excited when I saw this video! Crystal River is one of my favorite places in Florida, mainly because of the manatees. They are my absolute favorite animal and have had the chance to swim with them in Crystal River and volunteered at a manatee rehabilitation center in Belize for a month. Was such a great experience. I've wanted to live in Florida since I was a child mainly because of manatees! Maybe one day.

    This video unlocked memories that I forgot I had. I was born in Florida and lived there until I was 6, at which time we moved to KY. I went to Quiet Waters Elementary School in Deerfield Beach, and the mascot was a manatee. I’m 35 years old and hadn’t thought about that/remembered that since probably 1994 😂
