The staff are excellent and bearing in mind August is not peak season to see them in the springs, they will almost certainly find you some interaction. We've been in early September and mid-November.

Thank you Reunion - just what we hoped to hear!

You're welcome! I hope you manage to get booked in and find some. It took us about 1.30 to get there and we made a day of it stopping for a late lunch afterwards at a lakeside 'tiki' bar they recommended to us!

We booked an early morning tour (it meant an early start but worth it as the water/weather is cooler). They provide everything including flotation vests & wetsuits if you want them. We didn't use wetsuits in September but found them pretty essential in November. They also gave us all 'noodles' to hang onto for extra flotation help, and to help keep us still so as not to disturb the manatees.
