At the end of the trip we will spend around a half an hour looking for alligators and manatees in the port of the isle canal. The manatees love this area because of the warmer water. We are the only company in Florida to have the "triple crown" of the Permits in Everglades, Naples and Marco Island. Our small group size, best tour choices, most comfortable kayaks and the best guides in the industry have led the "Golden Standard" of this kayak industry for the last 17 years.

At Manatees in Paradise, we are a small, family-owned company with a passion for wildlife & the environment! Founded in 2005 by manatee rescue volunteers focused on safeguarding the dwindling manatee population, our goal has always been to bring you the very best in educational, animal friendly tours. It has never been our ambition to have the largest fleet of boats on the water. Instead, we aim to have the smallest possible impact…which is why we only offer small tours & are proud to be 1 of 2 Guardian Guides with Save the Manatee Club! Regardless of whether you book a tour with us, we kindly ask that you respect the manatees & their space…not crowd or prey on them. Any tour company promoting the petting of wild manatees is truly part of an ongoing local problem. We love snorkeling with the manatees, but always remain mindful not to interfere with their natural behavior. You can also see them very well from the boat, so whether in the water or out, it's truly a magical adventure!
