Native Vacations NEWS

Tampa Bay Buccaneers logoThanks to the generosity of Captain Traci Wood of Native Vacations, my wife Danielle and I had the pleasure of taking kids from The Children's Home of Tampa swimming with the manatees earlier this year. We've gone on lots of !Wild Adventures! with the children over the last two years, but this was a true wild encounter! With Captain Traci as our guide, we were able to get up close and personal with real manatees. More than anything, the children, Danielle and I had fun. I definitely recommend scheduling a wild adventure of your own with Captain Traci.
