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.

Highly recommend this company if you have small children. Great, knowledgeable staff and good equipment. 2-hour trip length is the perfect blend of getting to see "enough" to get your money's worth without reaching the boredom factor for younger kids.

We were first time paddle boarders. I would rate this activity as "strenuous" due to the fact that you are traversing through a boat channel against wind (20 mph), tide, and boat wake for part of the trip. Going under the bridge the current becomes more intense. During this time we were paddling on our knees and it became painful. After a while we sat indian style which was much better. It took me 4 tries to be able to stand on the board. The board was not as stable as I expected. Rebecca our guide was fantastic! She spent extra time with us since we were first timers. She taught us skills before we left the dock, then we practiced them near the dock. Even though we were running behind she spent extra time with us. Also be sure to take water. You can buy a clip on container at the shop that you can secure to the board. Do not go without water! I expected to see more fish so that was a bit of a disapointment but overall we had a great time. Rebecca explained the mangroves and she was educational. She pointed out all tings of interest along the way.

thanks for visiting us. our winds change daily and i'm sorry it was so breezy for you on your recent visit. next time will be different (it could be even worse but likely better) also our current changes every hour so sometimes it is faster than others. it would be cool if the tide was at the same time everyday as then we would be able to time our tours better. Glad you had a fun time with Rebecca as she really loves showing off our local eco system to our visitors.

Nice kayak day on the water. The mangroves were lovely. Susanne, the teacher was very informative. Beginners kind of experience.

thanks for joining us. thanks for leaving a review. if you are looking for something more advanced, consider just renting from us next time and going out on your own. we can help you select an awesome route which takes in some sights that are out of reach for the majority of paddlers who visit us.
