Manatee Discovery Kayak Tour for Small Groups near Orlando

Overview
Make close contact with these gentle and lovable creatures in one of the largest winter gathering sites for manatees in Florida. Observe manatees as they swim all around you with some of them curious enough to come close to your kayak. In the summer month we paddle up to the spring head where you have a chance to jump into the crystal clear spring to cool off and to explore the aquatic life living in the spring.
Our tour groups are always small. We never take more than 5 people on a tour to provide a personalized experience that prioritizes quality and safety. All of our tour guides are professionally trained with a love to share with you their knowledge, that will turn a wonderful trip into an unforgettable, inspiring adventure.
Your kayak tour includes energizing trail snacks and a delicious picnic lunch.

What a wonderful, memorable tour we had with Astrid, We saw so many turtles, alligators, birds of all kind and yes manatees. I felt like I was in a National Geographic film. It was so beautiful! The birds were singing, the St Johns was extraordinary and peaceful. What made the trip was our tour guide Astrid. She was so very knowledgeable and friendly. We plan on coming back and bringing our friends. Definitely a FIVE star experience!!!!

The tour was excellent. Our tour guide, Astrid, knew just what to do in order to give us the best experience. It was so thrilling to have the manatees so close to us. I highly recommend this company 1000%!
