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.

Such an amazing experience with Jaden as our tour guide, my family and I got to see an alligator, manatees, dolphins, jumping fish, bioluminescent jellyfish, and all sorts of birds. Jaden was funny and knowledgeable, with all sorts of stories and facts about the surroundings we got to explore. I would definitely do this tour again, it’s totally worth it!

Jaden was our tour guide for the mondo combo tour and he was amazing! Was just 2 of us that signed up for the tour that day so we were able to hangout and watch some dolphins catch their dinner with no rush to move on. Very laid back but amazing tour. Got to see dolphins, manatees, alligators, and all kinds of birds. Guide was very knowledgeable and kept things interesting. We had a beautiful sunset to see and HUGE comb jellies to hold and watch light up in our hands. I will never forget this experience. Worth every single penny and I will definitely come back!
