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.

The Mondo Combo tour is a MUST DO when visiting Florida! We had a GREAT time and enjoyed kayaking in the evening light and at night. We saw many manatees up close and mullet fish hopping and darting in bioluminescence. Our guide, Bob, was very patient and extremely knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. He did a great job making the trip enjoyable... even in the rain! The Bioluminescence was AMAZING... just like the photos and videos show. We aren't very athletic or in shape, but the kayaking was very doable... even for my 60-year-old mom. Don't miss this trip! Will definitely do again on our next trip to Florida.
