Mangroves and Manatees - Guided Kayak Eco Tour

Overview

Our tours are geared towards first time and new paddlers. We go at your speed so you don't have to worry about going out and getting exhausted. Grab a friend and come along for a unique adventure on the #1-rated Eco-Tour through the mangrove ecosystem. Choose your kayak - single or double - and glide in our shallow clear water over sponges, grass beds, and sandy patches. Looking down, you might see a small nurse shark, turtle, or stingray, or can observe dolphins and manatees. Above water, herons, pelicans, and ospreys settle on the mangroves and hunt for fish. While there are no guaranteed wildlife sightings, we always see something cool in this one-of-a-kind estuary ecosystem that starts right outside the back door of our shop.

Great guide. Saw some manatees, shark and sting ray. My 13 year old daughter was able to easily paddle board and we saw more that way. Great experience.

This was a very fun adventure. Kayaking through the tunnel of mangroves was a very ethereal experience. Our guide really knew where to spot manatees -- it was very fun. A bonus was his adorable little dog who loved to sit on his paddle board. Kayaking against the wind is a bit of work, but nothing very strenuous. It was really worth it to see the swamp from this perspective, completely different experience from boating.
