Manatees/Sunset/Bioluminescence Tour

Overview

Experience everything the wildlife refuge has to offer with three distinct experiences packed into one three-hour tour! Launch your kayak in the daylight and surround yourself with Florida’s most-loved endangered species, West Indian Manatees! Sit back while the gentle giants roll, sniff, and nuzzle all around you. Dolphins are also active this time of day as they wrangle their dinner in the adjacent cove.

Next, head out to Bird Island, a federally protected rookery, to watch hundreds of birds soar in overhead. Ibis, herons, egrets, pelicans, cormorants, and roseate spoonbills and more all glide in their flocks to nest for the night. Be lulled into serenity by the gently rocking kayak as the sun descends for the night in the pinks, oranges, and reds of sunset.

Finally, the tour culminates in the season’s bioluminescent experience, whether it be summer bioluminescence, winter comb jelly bioluminescence, or a star-studded moonlit sky.

I took the combo tour on July 1 and it was an amazing trip. Our guides were excellent and we got lucky with the weather. We saw a ton of manatee, lots of birds, a few raccoons , Mullet a sunset, an almost full moon, Venus and the bio was in full bloom and was unlike any kaying trip I have ever done before. I highly recommend and whenever I am in the area again will definitely take this trip again. I had a solo kayak and the equipment was in perfect condition

This tour is a must! We stayed at the beach for a week and did several activities, but this blew every other thing we did out of the water! Our guides were AMAZING! Chaz and Amanda were so full of information and knew where all the great places were located! Will definitely come back with more family! Everyone should go on this tour!
