We were 5 senior citizens cousins, some visiting, others residents. Our first time on this tour and after having had experiences on MANY boat tours we all agreed this was the best. Captain Dave and Melissa were great hosts, informative, friendly and made the trip really special... Thanks for a delightful 2 hours.

Took my 14-year-old grandson on a local "adventure" to be on the water and see a little of nature in our area. What I thought might prove to be boring for him was just the opposite! He had a great time! One for Nanny and a big one for Latitude Tours! Thank you for making it so interesting!

Melissa the 1st mate was very knowledgeable about the local history. Her naturalist background also helped explain the how’s and why’s. Capt Dave added some local flavour to the trip as this is his hunting ground. All in all a great excursion and would recommend to anyone curious about the local neighbourhood.

We took the noon tour. Did not order lunch. They had soda and water for purchase or you can bring your favourite brew. We were out about 2 hours. Really nice informative tour and so worth your time and money. We did see Manitee but really just noses out at about 20 yards. You never know what you will see but I would definitely do it again.

We had an awesome time on the sunset dinner cruise. Food was good and staff very friendly. They went above and beyond to make our daughters engagement very special for her.

Great value, without the meal. With the meal a great deal. The crew could not be friendlier or more helpful. The trip was both relaxing and informative.

So much information and history of the area was given. Family-friendly, little gifts for the kids and celebrated two guests' birthdays. We saw dolphins, manatees and a spectacular sunset followed by an afterglow that went on and on. I can recommend LATITUDES 100%🌴🌞🐬🎂🥰
