When paddling along the Weeki Wachee river in Florida, you could expect to see dozens of fish and birds that call the river home - as well as a few 'mermaids' at the nearby tourist attraction.
But among the rarest of sights along the stretch of water is the endangered West Indian manatees, unless you're this pair of lucky paddle boarders.
Tyler and Lauren were leisurely making their way down the river on Saturday with paddle board company Sup Weeki, when this group of ten inquisitive manatees swam directly underneath them.

A spokesman for SUP Weeki : 'Tyler & Lauren get a special treat when this group of manatee swim so gracefully by them in the crystal clear water of the Weeki Wachee River.
'We don't see manatee every time people go out here - and I always tell people they're lucky to see one. These folks got to see ten all at once!'
