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.

My husband and I did the kayak through the mangroves with Suzanne and had an amazing time! She has an incredible wealth of knowledge of the surrounding area and animals. We did not get to see the resident crocodile, but did enjoy numerous fish and a detailed explanation of the ecosystem and its inhabitants. She let me hold a mangrove crab who crawled around my leg for a while. She took us out a bit in the ocean, but we did not feel unsafe as we are simply recreational kayakers, certainly not professionals. I had to laugh at the other comments regarding disappointment surrounding not seeing manatees or other wildlife. Seriously??? Did you think the company could summon them for you?? We will be back, not sure when, but we will:)

thanks for coming to visit us. we do our best to summon the wildlife but sometimes our manatee or shark call is broken :-) Otherwise, we do our best. See you again one day hopefully.

Susanne took us out and we really enjoyed the trip. She coached us through the more challenging aspect, we saw lots of birds and then we relaxed through the mangrove channels. Saw loads of interesting things and she answered everything and was genuinely excited about some of the things we came upon, like the little crabs that we saw in a tree and a feeding frenzy that we came across where bigger fish were annihilating a small school of unwary little fish that had not learned to hang in the mangrove roots.

It was our first time on a SUP and we really enjoyed it! Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out lots of wildlife and interesting facts. We were glad we had the waterproof camera!
