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.

I went on a Manatee Tour with Venture Outdoors and it was a fantastic experience. Our guide Astrid was quite personable and fun. She knew so much about all the wildlife and the surrounding area. We had a lot of fun with the manatees that came close to our kayaks and we also saw some small alligators. A wonderful experience that I would recommend anytime. Ask for Astrid as your guide she is awesome!

I did a Manatee Discovery Kayak Tour with Venture Outdoors. Our guide Astrid has an enormous knowledge about all wildlife and was able to convey so much about the nature. I have gained a completely new understanding about nature and the environment. It was an unforgettable event and I will be able to draw from that for a long time.
