Top Cocoa Beach Kayaking Tours

We drove out to Titusville to Haulaway Canal to see the bioluminescence using a glass bottomed kayak, but the trip was SO much more. Our guide, Jorge, said to try to get there early, and we did. We went around the island while the sun set, and listened to birds and saw egrets, ibis, ospreys, herons, flamingos and so many more-even chickens. Then we headed for the canals. The canals were incredible. Just kayaking at night in the mangroves would have been great. But we passed Fred the alligator, held comb jellies, created bioluminescence with our hands and paddles, and did not experience a manatee "rodeo" (haha) for which I was grateful. Jorge was a fountain of knowledge about the unparalleled biodiversity of the area, AND his his day job is working at a job related to one of the launches we saw so he talked to us about that and about the night sky and how starlight is us looking back in time ...just such a multi faceted experience. As we were headed back, a curious dolphin showed up to play. It's a good trip when every single day we think "Wow; it can't get better than this !" The next day, based on our conversations, Jorge alerted us that the booster from the launch was going to be in Port Canaveral, so we saw that, too! Thank you, Jorge for being such an extraordinary guide: we will come back with our family.

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!

Joe was fantastic, the route he took us on was super peaceful. We saw so many manatees and even some dolphins. The best part we’re the mangrove tunnels which are so cool to ride to. Highly recommend Joe and his company to anyone of any age and group number.
