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.

We had a fabulous day on the water with Brandy seeing manatees, dolphins, birds, and even a sea turtle. I contacted them ahead of time to make sure they would allow my 4 year old to go with us since he has been kayaking before and they were very accommodating. Everyone had a great time and Brandy did a great job of pointing things out and keeping the pace appropriate for everyone in the group. I would highly recommend this company for a morning on the water seeing the local wildlife. They are especially great if you are traveling with young children since many kayak tour companies will not accommodate kids under 5 or 6.

Alex was fantastic, very friendly and had lots of information about the local flora and fauna. Also shared information about the local area. We saw a number of dolphins and the flying fish were amazing. A manatee made an appearance as we were finishing our tour which was wonderful.
