Fully Guided Kayaking Backwater Manatee and Dolphin Tour

Overview

With 15+ years of faithful service, A1A Outdoor Center has earned the title, "Most Respected Tour" for a reason. We treat our guests like family. On this tour, you'll receive individual guidance as necessary to get into and out of your vessel, and get help with simple instructions. No experience necessary. And if you are an experienced paddler, we'll only help when asked. We'll enjoy relaxed manatee and dolphin viewing as well as other marine wildlife at your pace, paddling along natural mangrove shorelines, marine islands, and scenic tidal flats. Frequent sightings include manatees, dolphins, jumping fish, otters, shore birds, diving birds, birds of prey (osprey, bald eagles) and occasionally bottom marine life such as crabs, rays, skates, fish and more. No matter what the sightings though, you'll have a great time learning about Florida lagoons and enjoying a tranquil paddle in paradise.

It was nice and relaxing. Unfortunately we didn’t see any wildlife other than birds and jumping fish, but our guide was very knowledgeable and it was a perfectly calm day. We would definitely do it again!

We had a great time with Christa! She was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The dolphins and manatees weren't cooperative, but we did see a rat snake slithering across the mangroves, so wildlife goal accomplished! Word to the wise: SUNBLOCK AND BUG SPRAY!! We had to end a little early because everyone was getting eaten alive and my poor boys are covered in welts from the many mosquitos. Regardless, it was a fantastic trip!

Just wanted to thank our guide John. He was very knowledgeable about the area, ocean life and water safety. Hope to be back next year. Joe & Melanie Albuquerque NM
