Additional Information
We offer a tour around a preserved habitat for manatees and dolphins which significantly increases the odds of spotting these fascinating creatures. Our expeditions are not only tranquil but also informative as they are guided by professional biologists or naturalists from the state of Florida. Our explorations offer opportunities for direct encounters with some of the animals we come across. Our guide will teach you how to approach these creatures respectfully and securely. We assure you that our kayaks are exceptionally steady and safe. Prior to embarking on the water journey, our guides provide a comprehensive demonstration on paddling and a safety briefing.

Great experience - Great little tour. Didn't see any dolphins but did get to see a manatee up close. Didn't know what to look for to recognize the Jelly combs, but once out Tour Guide explained what to look for, we saw them everywhere. My family and I enjoyed every minute. Thank you for a fun relaxing experience.

Great experience! - We had a great time on this kayaking trip with our guide Cameron. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and gave us a lot of interesting facts about the animals and the area we were in. We saw dolphins within minutes of kayaking. A great trip overall...thanks for a great experience!

Relaxing and educational time on the water - This kayak trip was a blast. We were on a tight schedule and opted for the noon time slot, right before our flight out of town. The experience was calming and the mangrove tunnel was fun to navigate.
Cameron was full of knowledge about the ecology of the Indian River, and mentioned that morning and evening trips offer better opportunities to see manatee and dolphin. The summer evening bioluminescent trip sounds amazing as well.
We will definitely do this again the next time we are in town.
