Ian was a wonderful guide. Although viewing dolphins and manatees are based on the weather and elements, we were lucky enough to see both! He took pictures and videos at no additional charge so we could leave our phones behind and enjoy nature! The pictures and video weee sent within a few hours and were way better than what I could capture. We did this tour with my 20 year old daughter and her boyfriend and it was peaceful and we learned a lot about the animals and area from Ian.

How great it is to hear you were able to fully enjoy your time while Ian snapped some forever memories for you! Seeing both manatee and dolphin is truly a gift from mother nature and we're stoked we were able to take you out to experience that! Come see us again soon for another Cocoa Kayaking adventure!

Great tour Captain Mike was patient with novice kayakers, knowledgeable about the wildlife and their environment and extremely informative. We learned about the three types of mangrove trees, red, black and white. We saw a variety of winged wildlife such as cormorant cranes, pelicans, and sandpipers. We paddled and came across two dolphins gliding through the water in search of food. We watched them for about 15 minutes . Periodically, they would surface and blow water from their blow holes . Captain Mike also gave each of us a small net where we were able to scoop up some comb jellies. He showed us how they glow at night by placing the in a jar and holding a flashlight beneath the glass jar. This was an excellent tour. Our tour guide was superb. We highly recommend this opportunity to be educated about the nature and habitat of the area.
