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.

Calib was a great guide, we got to see manatees and dolphins up close as well as other Florida wildlife. It was the perfect amount of time to be out on the water. The company rescheduled for us due to the hurricane making the first day to rough.

It was a beautiful experience with my husband and two teenagers. Caleb was our guide and he had excellent knowledge of the area. We saw manatees and dolphin pods. The blue heron was majestic. It was definitely worth the price. We are native Floridians and it was very nice to see Old Florida. Thank you so much for the excellent service and experience.
