Highly recommended - The tour is recommended for everyone. Small or large. What you get here is top. Our guide Cameron (graduated biologist) could be holed with questions about the flora and fauna. We were even lucky enough to see sea bolds.

Manatee heaven - We went on the excursion with our guide Cameron. He was so knowledgeable and had so much care for the wildlife. He was also amazing with our family, from my inability to steer a kayak to our endless questions. We were warned to stay a distance from the manatee to protect them, but three got curious and came to look at the Kayak my husband and I had. It was such an amazing experience. Would 100% do it again.

Learned so much & had a blast! - We had a great experience on our tour with Aerin! She was so knowledgeable and great at sharing fun facts about the animals we saw and the habitat of the mangroves. We learned a ton! My favorite parts of the tour were seeing dolphins and manatees from just feet away, and kayaking through the mangrove tunnel. Would 100% recommend while in Cocoa Beach!!

Peaceful kayak trip with environmentally-sensitive guide. - The tour manager was accommodating when the tour was delayed due to uncontrollable circumstances. Enjoyed seeing manatees and a few bird species. My tour guide, Erin, was knowlegeable about environmental issues and ecosystem dynamics. She provided a nice balance of informational talks and quiet paddling time, as well as time to watch the manatees. Even before and after being on the water, she pointed out some wildlife. She also provided clear instruction on paddling techniques, safety tips, and the best way to get in and out of the kayak.

A nature lover dream - I can’t reccomend this tour enough! It was awesome. If you love nature you have to do this tour. You are paddling your own kayak so you do need to be strong enough to do that. Several manatees came right up to our kayaks.
