Set off on a captivating kayak or paddleboard journey along Fort Lauderdale’s Middle River, where gentle manatees—Florida’s cherished sea cows—grace the warm waters, particularly during the peak winter months from late December to mid-March. Navigate through lush mangroves, observe vibrant iguanas, tropical birds such as herons, egrets, or ibis, and perhaps even spot leaping tarpon or dolphins. Our knowledgeable guides provide eco-insights, paddling tips, and capture memories, tailoring your experience for relaxation or excitement. Conclude at a serene 9.3-acre nature preserve featuring mangroves and winding trails. While wildlife sightings, including manatees, aren’t guaranteed, the excitement of discovery is! Reserve your spot now for an unforgettable eco-adventure.
Note: Manatees live in the wild! Our team is experienced, but we cannot guarantee manatee sightings. The season runs from November 15 to March 31. We spot them throughout the year, with peak months being January and February as they seek warmer waters. Please refrain from booking if not seeing a manatee would result in a negative review.
