Amazing kayaking experience - We had such an amazing time on this tour. Ian was our guide and he was knowledgeable, calm, and made sure to get great photos and videos. The tour was the perfect length of time; we saw lots of wildlife and loved the mangrove tunnels. We would definitely do this tour again!

Wonderful Morning Kayak Tour with Ian - Amazing morning kayaking with Ian! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour feel both tranquil and fun. We saw manatees, dolphins, and lots of birds, and Ian even sent photos and a video afterward. Highly recommend this tour!!

Perfect Kayak Tour for Families - We had a wonderful time on this tour! Everything was very well organized and enjoyable from start to finish. Our guide was incredibly kind and patient—especially with our 8-year-old son, who had lots of questions 😊 Seeing manatees and dolphins in their natural environment was truly unforgettable. It made the whole experience even more special. Highly recommend this tour for families!

The best part of my trip - This tour was better than any amusement park. The guides were very knowledgeable and the nature is out of this world. The manatees showed interest in exploring what we were. They swam up to us after we stopped approaching them. The guides really made the trip with jokes and local knowledge.

Family fun! - Great experience! Took my not so graceful Mom who was a bit nervous about getting in and out of the kayak and it wasn't a problem. Our guide James helped without issues. Our tour was one of the highlights of our trip. It was a bit confusing to find the place but we managed. Loved that the guide takes pictures and videos along the way and then sends them to you later that day! James was a great tour guide, friendly, down to earth young man who pointed out wildlife and different plants along the way. Highly recommend him! Thanks for a great experience :-)

Loved it! - If you enjoy nature and sea life - this will be an enjoyable experience for you. We saw lots of birds, manatees up close, and really enjoyed navigating though the narrow mangrove waterways. We also learned a lot! Would definitely recommend for a more peaceful adventure!

First kayak adventure - James gave us a fantastic trip. All of us were new to kayaking and he gave us some initial training and was patient throughout the trip. We enjoyed a trip through the mangroves and saw several manatees and dolphins up close and so much better than a boat tour! James shared much of his knowledge of the area, environment and animals. We will definitely book again when we return to the area.

Best thing we did all week! - We had so much fun on our tour! We saw a bunch of manatees and paddling through the mangroves was so cool. Our guide (Ian) was awesome, and he gave us a bunch of other great recommendations for things to do in the area and places to eat. We definitely plan on paddling with Cocoa Kayaking again!
