Manatee and Dolphin Kayaking Encounter in Cocoa Beach booking from $55.00

Manatee and Dolphin Kayaking Encounter

Overview

It’s an encounter unlike any other as you spend the morning floating gently in the endangered manatee’s favorite lounging spots on the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. These friendly Florida herbivores just love to nuzzle, grip, and cuddle your kayak for a truly magical morning.

The kayaking adventure continues with a search for playful dolphins, often fishing actively nearby. As if beholding these majestic mammals in their element isn’t enough, you’ll likely enjoy many other Florida natives including pelicans, osprey, roseate spoonbills, horseshoe crabs, and even the occasional gator.

As visitors in the manatee’s natural habitat, you can expect to observe and study the famed Sea Cows. Keep in mind that we seek not to disturb, overwhelm, or disrupt the manatee’s natural behaviors, but rather let you experience them on their terms.

Saw manatees, porpoises, and a large alligator up close. The guide, Harrison, was absolutely great, and exceptionally attentive to us (my sister, brother-in-law, wife, and me). He knew his business (I'm an outdoorsman and lived in FL four years hunting and fishing, so I would know if he didn't) and told some great tales. We would certainly recommend him again.

We did the dolphin/manatee sunset tour. It was amazing! We saw both dolphins and a manatee. as well as Comb jellyfish and Dinoflagellates. Our guide, Harrison, was excellent! He’s very knowledgeable about the area and species we saw, as well as a great conversationalist. He made the tour very enjoyable. We will be back!
