Yes we did go (Nov 17th) however they had just closed it the weekend before so we did snorkel around three sisters we just could not get pass the roped off area.

Hi bill, The logistics of my tour when I went was it was all about the money. We were told when we got to the shop that we had to bring our own cars to a marina down the street (where we had to pay for parking). They put the boat in right there and we went literally around the corner to the back of the marina...the "ride" took less than 10 minutes and we didn't see much at all in terms of vegetation. It all depends on who is doing the tour. If you want to see manatees definitely go on a cold day during the winter. If all you want is vegetation go anytime of year when the area isn't flooded! It was a snorkeling tour that i participated on and you could rent all of the gear you need but they do also do diving. I personally woukdnt give them my business ever again. It all felt like a rip off. Hope this helps!
