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.

Very nice folks and a well run operation. But the kayaking was tougher than I expected (and I'm in good shape!). The guide was knowledgeable but literally never mentioned seeing manatees... Our kids were SO disappointed that we never even looked for any. Basically it boils down to a good workout on the water.

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting our friendly staff and well run operation. We are sorry to hear that the kayaking experience didn't meet your expectations, especially regarding the manatees. While our guides always keep an eye out for wildlife, we do not guarantee manatees as they are wild animals. We hope you will give us another shot in the future!

We did an afternoon trip, it was a small group of only seven guests. Our guide, Becca, was safety conscious but fun. We saw a large manatee and she directed with care to avoid causing it injury. I love paddling through the mangrove tunnels so that was a highlight for me.

The coolest tour! The mangroves were very fun to kayak through and the water was so cool. We saw a manatee at the very end which was awesome . Rob did an excellent job guiding the group.
