This tour offers a rare opportunity to observe Florida’s most iconic wildlife from the unique vantage point of a clear kayak or paddleboard on the Silver River. With exceptional water clarity, you can often see fish and turtles swimming below while alligators rest along the shoreline — all from a safe and respectful distance. Silver Springs is one of the state’s oldest and most historic natural attractions, home to diverse ecosystems that support gators, turtles, wading birds, manatees (seasonal), and even wild rhesus monkeys. The visibility here is unmatched, creating vivid blues and greens that feel almost unreal. Unlike standard kayak tours, our transparent vessels provide continuous underwater viewing, adding an entirely new dimension to wildlife observation. Throughout the experience, your knowledgeable guide shares insight into the river’s ecology, history, and conservation, transforming a paddle into a deeper understanding of wild Florida.

Gators are really happy on the Silver River. Because there is plenty of food for them on the river, they are very docile.

Dolphin, Manatee and SeaTurtle SUP Adventure Tour of St Augustine

Samuel_C, May 2026

Great time

Chase, our guide, welcomed the crew and we set off for our paddle. He was engaging and friendly. The adventure was great and worth the money. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and some water. Wear shoes and clothes that can get wet. You don’t swim but do get wet a little wet getting in/out of the kayak and water splashing from the paddles.

Clear Kayak Three Sisters Springs & Manatee Tour Of Crystal River

Gary_R, May 2026

Don’t miss the Three sisters!

Three Sisters Springs! So clear, and cold and refreshing after kayaking and seeing so many manatees up close and serene. I don’t swim in natural waters only pools, but the Springs…so inviting and so natural! Beautiful! Highlight of our trip. Definitely coming back to this particular vendor. Great people, friendly, knowledgeable guide.

Mangroves and Manatees - Guided Kayak Eco Tour

Andrea_H, May 2026

Girls trip 2026.

Mangroves and Manatee kayaking. Wear sun protection and you will have a ball!!! Our guide, Brittany, was fabulous!!! Bring environment friendly mosquito repellent, just in case the mosquitoes are active in the mangroves. Our tour was May 19, 2026, I only saw three mosquitoes. If the wind is blowing, you’ll get a pretty good shoulder workout.. if you need assistance, the guides willingly and able to assist/tow you. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Our guide was calm, very informative, watched out for us, and very concerned for our safety! We felt safe the whole time. I would highly recommend this excursion. We happen to be out on a very high tide and did not see manatees, but it is still well worth your time to go kayak through those mangroves! It was an absolutely amazing experience that we will never forget!!!! Thank you Brittany!!!!!!!

Andrew_C, May 2026

An Excellent Excursion!

My fiancée and I had an amazing time kayaking the bay with our guide, Noah. The entire experience from booking to arrival, was smooth and hassle-free, and the price felt very reasonable for what we got. Noah was incredibly knowledgeable and even took some great photos for us along the way. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Sarasota Guided Mangrove Tunnel Kayak Tour

Monica_C, Apr 2026

We had an incredibly...

We had an incredibly enjoyable two-hour outing with our family and kids. The scenery was beautiful—we paddled through mangroves and saw some amazing wildlife, including a dolphin and even a manatee. It was also a great way to get some exercise while still feeling relaxed and immersed in nature. I shared a tandem kayak with my 13 year old son, which made it even more fun. There were a couple of slightly tricky moments navigating the narrower mangrove tunnels, but nothing we couldn’t handle—and it added a bit of excitement to the experience. Another review mentioned not to forget the sunblock—I second this! Our guide, Kenny, really made the trip special. He was knowledgeable, calm, and genuinely enjoyable to paddle alongside. Overall, a memorable experience we’d absolutely recommend.

Rachel_M, Apr 2026

Best thing we did all week!

We had so much fun on our tour! We saw a bunch of manatees and paddling through the mangroves was so cool. Our guide (Ian) was awesome, and he gave us a bunch of other great recommendations for things to do in the area and places to eat. We definitely plan on paddling with Cocoa Kayaking again!

Mangrove Tunnel & Manatee Kayak Eco-Tour

Sarah_W, Mar 2026

Amazing and Beautiful fun!

Firstly- didn’t want to do this but fam did so I “tagged along”. SO GLAD MY GIRL ASKED TO DO THIS EXCURSION!!!!! My sincere apologies for not retaining our guides name (but he and his wife have a membership at the aquarium lol). SO MUCH FUN. Our guide was so informative and fun and laid back but professional and obviously comfortable in the waters he took us through. Including a shark tank?? Yep. Previously used for research now “hurracained”. Including a hidden beach?? Yep. SO AMAZING. Glittered with all kinds of shells and only accessible by boat or kayak or paddle board. We saw a fisherman catch a sheepshead fish (per our guide of course- I’d have NO CLUE) and our guide explained the unique dentation of this fish before the fisherman released it. Paddled through some clouds of jellyfish. Saw poisonous catfish. Shell hunted. DIDNT DIE Honestly even IF I were outdoorsy I don’t think we could’ve ever found the isolated/pristine/fascinating places our guide shared with us. GO WITH THIS EXPIDITION IF THEY HAVE AVAILABILITY!!!! BEST EXCURSION THIS LANDLUBBER HAS DONE. Never been in a kayak before. Ready to get one and Move to siesta key. Anyone got a beach tent I can use?

Parasailing over the Historic Key West Seaport

Tammy_T, Dec 2025

Amazing morning!

My Hunny and I booked for a10am morning parasailing adventure. His first time, and a little afraid of heights, I have a “flying every chance I get” bug 😁 We went out on a perfect day for parasailing.. little breeze, warm enough outside. The 2 guy crew couldn’t have done more to bake everyone on the boat feel comfortable and safe and have a great time. We bought the photo package and they turned out fantastic! My hunny said he couldn’t believe how much he enjoyed it- so peaceful. Will be coming back to sunset again when we come back to KW.

Parasail Flights at Madeira Beach

Rose_B, Aug 2025

Keeping the trend going!

I took two of my grandsons for their first parasailing flight and they loved it and wanted to go again! I have now taken my 5 grandsons for their first flight and each of them will go again! I keep coming back to Eagle Parasailing because I've had a great experience each time I have gone. Captain Ike and Matt created a fun atmosphere for all of us and made sure we knew exactly what we needed to do. I would recommend them for your first flight or return flight!!
