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.

We did the Mondo Combo tour a few weeks ago. Definitely worth the trip. We were a small group on a moonless cloudless night. Just 2 kayaks tandem and single. We saw everything we expected to see. The manatees were very friendly and came up close enough to touch their noses (but we didn’t). The comb jellies were super bright. We all got to hold them and make them glow. Even though we were out of season, the water sparkled with each paddle after sunset. It was much brighter than on similar tours in other countries. I was impressed. The tour is 3 hours, but it didnt feel that long. There is little to no current in the river, so don’t expect to be tired. My 11 yr old entertained, but ready to go home by the end. A young toddler might not have lasted the full tour. All in all l, i highly recommend the tour. Its worth it.
