In reply to Franca. It's definitely quite the experience, even for Florida Natives such as us. :-)

I’m so incredibly jealous! Citrus County’s wildlife is impressive, there are so many animals I’ve never been lucky enough to see in real life and in their own habitat. I think we should start think of going to Florida! :)

Ted,

Sounds awesome! I couldn’t imagine what I would do if there were 30 – 40 of them.

I visited Three Sisters Springs this past January. It was just after a cold snap where they actually closed the springs due to so many manatees being packed in there due to cold weather. We went two days after it reopened and it was 80 degrees. It was really cool because as we were paddling in, hundreds of manatees were swimming back out into the ocean. There were still 30-40 in the springs. It is an amazing location. Loved the underwater pics.

Wow seriously fantastic photos! We went kayaking with manatees in Florida a few months ago but the water was too murky for decent photography. Will have to head back to actually swim with them! Thanks!!

Love this! I’m hoping to go swimming with the manatees some time early next year, and this makes me even more excited :)

Look at all that nature! We just came from the Amazon and Pantanal in Brazil and there are so many beautiful animals there as well. Love the otter photo, looks so curious :-)

Hi Kenin,

That array of wildlife is stunning. From the otters, to mantees, to foxes, fish, turtles and alligators, I’m enamored with the sheer volume of beautiful creatures you observed during your short stay there. It reminds me of Quepos, Costa Rica…..between there and Manuel Antonio, we saw more creatures in their habitat than I could dream of, from rare sloths to the insanely quick Jesus Christ Lizard, which actually runs on water. (seriously it does!)

The inlets looked beautiful and like you said, what a change up from the wild beach scene. We’ve been as far south as Hilton Head, but if we make it back to the US for more than a few months we may do Florida, and this area in particular.

It’s just too tough to leave Fiji….loving it here.

Thanks so much Kenin.

Ryan
