exclusive event created by o&a event planners and stand up fitness. the o&a manatee experience starts off with a meet up at the manatee viewing center at apollo beach.
after touring the visitor’s center and viewing the manatees from afar it’s off to apollo beach to launch our stand up paddle boards and see the beautiful creatures up close.
we are not permitted to paddle up to the viewing center however on our research trip the manatees swam directly underneath and beside us!
the water is warm!
don’t let today’s cooler weather deter you from joining this event, this is a one of a kind experience. the water is warmed by the power plant hence all the manatees congregating.
this is event is open to all levels, if you’ve never paddled before, no worries, stand up fitness founder brody welte will be conducting our tour which will include full support, gear and instruction.

Robert,
Are you going to schedule the March version of this? Kendall would like to do it with me, but his family will be in town this weekend, so we were both going to sign up for the March version of it, but I didn’t see it posted yet. Let me know
Looks Like a great event, I am sad i will be missing this one. I am going to see wicked that same night. Have fun and take lots of pics
IF the event sells out we will announce a March date!
I hope this sells out, because I’m going to have to miss this date but would love to do it in March (there would be two of us for that).
I have signed up for the Manatee Experience, But did not receive a confirmation.
Can you confirm I do have reservation.

Your PayPal receipt is your confirmation….YOU ARE CONFIRMED! We look forward to seeing you….days before the event you will receive a reminder email with exact meet up details.
This event is going to be awesome, we had such a great time researching this one.
Thought folks like me, considering paddle boarding for the first time might like to watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-7rDavdJGs
That’s a GREAT video, Beth — thank you for passing that along! Also know that for all of our paddle boarding events, we have an instructor on site, giving all the basic instruction on land before heading out, then walking each person through the steps on the board in the water, and finally, coaching and supervising throughout the event. I think you’ll find this a surprisingly easy sport to learn, and for me, it’s certainly one of the most enjoyable!
I would like to do this event, especially since I’ve seen it while kayaking in Key West. My concern is the weather, is there a rain make-up date? Also, will you have this event again when it’s warmer out?
The video is a great prerequisite before heading out.
Thanks for your interest in this very unique event.
We’re watching the weather to ensure a safe and pleasurable experience. Currently there is no make-up date, but that could change. Manatee season in Tampa Bay draws to a close as the weather warms up prohibiting this event to occur much later than mid-March. Should event dates be altered due to the weather we’ll post the info asap.
Doing the research for this event was a blast, we lucked out with great weather.
Hey Robert!
Just wanted to verify you received Kendall and my registration for the 12-3 event. We can’t wait!
You are confirmed for Manatee Experience and Nature Hike….gonna be two awesome events!
You are confirmed, gonna be a fun outing.
