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.

Forget Disney ! This is where the real magic is in central Florida! Bob was a great guide - dolphin, manatees, birds, stars and bioluminescence! We were enthralled with the beauty and the peace .

The Mondo Combo was 4 hours and nearly 6 miles of kayaking in what can be descirbed as ideal conditions. Our tour guide Bob was definitely a stop and smell the roses kind of guy. A welcome change from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Highlights: manatees, Bird Island, sunset .... but the comb jelly collection was awesome. Some tips: a change of clothes is a must. Our group was well behaved but there was no getting around having our shorts soaked. Be sure to have a solid meal before departing. It is a decent exertion right through dinner time.

This kayak tour had everything. We enjoyed paddling on the mangroves and seeing the biodiversity that Florida's wetlands hold. We also enjoyed historical and cultural facts from our well versed guide Bob. He had a wealth of information to share yet knew how to allow you to take in the breathtaking night sky in silence. Even with no experience in kayaking we felt at ease and found it to be easy to pick up!
