Anniversary well spent - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our guided sunset kayak tour. Our guide, Logan, was very knowledgeable on the local ecosystem and someone we will specifically request when we return. Not only did we end with a picture perfect sunset, we also were able to observe an abundance of wildlife along the way. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a 5-star experience

Fun experience kayaking, which was topped off by witnessing a rocket launch from the shore! - Our guide, Logan, did an excellent job of informing us about the canal, mangroves, islands, and all of the wildlife (both in the water and above). We appreciated his enthusiasm and all of the fun photos that he took along the way.

Wonderful wildlife adventure - My son & I did this tour with our guide Logan. There were a few companies out on the water that day, but I doubt that any of them had as good an experience as we did. From the outset Logan explained to us what he was doing and where we were gong. He advised us to be quiet at the right times and when to just sit and watch the wildlife. Other groups were so busy whooping and hollering that they scared off the wildlife but Logan knew the good spots to go to.
We wanted to see as much as we could and boy did Logan deliver! Dolphins, Ospreys, So many herons, pelicans, hermit crabs,horseshoe crabs and SO many manatees. We even experienced a manatee rodeo. Oh I forgot the alligators too.
Don't waste your time in big groups as you'll see very little, go with this company and see all the wildlife the lagoon has to offer, definitely a highlight and we'd been at Kennedy Space Centre for 3 days so that took some beating!
10/10 for Logan, someone who has an obvious passion for what he does and that comes through his extensive knowledge of the area and its wildlife.
Thank you guys

Amazing manatees - Fabulous trip - exceeded our expectations in every way.. it was the perfect combination of a peaceful setting with the excitement of manatees and dolphins popping up around our kayaks. We were hoping to see a manatee whilst in Florida but we saw loads, with the added bonus of dolphins and a racoon too! Noah was a great guide - knowledgeable and really cared about the manatees.

Honeymoon trip - Our guide noah was awesome! Very knowledgeable of the wildlife and surrounding areas. Even though it rained, we still saw over 10 species of animals!!! This was the perfect excursion for our honeymoon! We really enjoyed being the only customers on the trip. We will be back!!

Great fun - We had to book a noon trip and didn’t get to see any wildlife, but still had a great time and lots of laughs. Our guide was great, the mangroves were awesome, and would definitely try again for more luck with wildlife.

Awesome day at the lagoon - We had amazing time there, our guide Noah is the best! We saw a couple alligators, a lot of herons, dolphins cruising with ducks hanging to them, and many kinds of mangroves.
Awesome experience!

Dolphins a plenty - This was my second trip with Cocoa Kayaking and it was great again! We had originally scheduled for a 9:00 am trip, but they called us and told us due to the cold weather, the later tours had a better chance of seeing wildlife, so we switched to the sunset tour. It was cold, so we didn’t see a lot of wildlife, but our tour guide, Jeni was full of great info, fun stories, and very friendly. Just as the sun was setting and we were finishing up, we were surrounded by a pod of dolphins coming in to feed. For 5-10 minutes five or six dolphins were around us jumping out of the water, chasing fish, and popping up within 6 feet of us. Amazing!! To finish things off, Jeni spotted a puffer fish that we watched mosey along. We will do another trip the next time we are in town.

Magnificent Manatees! - What an amazing experience on our 9am Manatee tour launching out of Haul Over Canal (Titusville) - the manatees were SURROUNDING US!!! Some were a little aggressive as there was some mating going on. We made sure to give them some safe distance! 😉 The baby manatees pushed along my boyfriend's kayak and got their faces right up to him. I also was rocked/bumped by a manatee mid jump - pretty cool (and a little startling as you don't see them until it happens!!!!). I wish I could share video on this site as I didn't take any still pictures because it was SO COOL and had to capture everything on video!!! Megan and Jenny were our amazing guides and were so professional, gentle, knowledgable, and patient with everyone in our tour. In fact, one of the small boys from the other group actually fell in the water near the mating manatees and they calmly reassured him and got over to him very quickly to help him back on his paddle board. I highly recommend this tour - it was pretty life changing to see these magnificent creatures so close and in their own environment.
