First timers say it’s fantastic.
We saw so many dolphins and 4 manatees and tons of varieties of birds! It was glorious! Exploring different areas at our leisure was priceless. I will treasure this experience! Paloma was an exceptional host and gave excellent directions for us as first timers.

Best way to start out the 4th
This was an absolutely excellent experience. We had a great captain, the boat was clean and nice. We went out on the river. It was a gorgeous day. We saw lots of dolphins as well as manatee. Docked out at the island and took a quick dip in the water and then toured the river back. I would highly recommend!

First Kayak Tour...Excellent Service
Rich and Joe were great! They were very knowledgeable about the locations of wildlife on the tour. My daughter was too tired to kayak back and Rich hooked her up and paddled her the entire way. We had an amazing time, especially my 15yo. I'm from FL and this was my first experience with a bioluminescence tour. I'm glad I went to Cocoa Beach for this tour. The sunset was beautiful and we saw a ton of jellyfish (my daughter's favorite). Thank you very much Rich (aka Mr. Sir) and Joe!!!

Quite a GREAT morning tour!
Prior to leaving this morning we received our text from Jack, making sure we knew where to meet and also that all our waivers were signed! Once arriving at MM48 on 520W, he was preparing our kayaks. Once everyone arrived we set off. First thing we saw were manatees frolicking around, as it is mating season! These wonderful creatures were everywhere today! Next we saw a few dolphin feeding, evident by all the birds flying near them. The Indian River Lagoon contains several critical, protected bird islands, and we kayaked over to one of them! I finally sae a few Spoonbills, which I have wanted to see in the wild forever! So cool! We looped the party island and sandbar area, taking a brief break due to increased winds. This area is used highly on the weekends with boaters! Lastly we toured the other side of Bird Island (where we saw so many different species) prior to heading back in! Jack even pointed out a huge Manta Ray to us! Thanks Jack for a wonderful, wildlife filled morning! It was quite an amazing tour!!
was an amazing guide this morning!

Dolphins!
Captain Mike was wonderful. He shared his knowledge of the animals and plants of the area. We were there after historical cold weather resulting in the Manatee’s not being on the area. BUT, we were treated to seeing dolphins and having them swim right up close to our Kayaks. It was wonderful.
We had a lovely time!
Thank you Cricket and Captain Mike!

Best kept secret near Orlando!
Must see near Orlando! Bioluminescence Kayaking at night under a clear sky with an abundance of stars. It is in the middle of a preserve on the Indian River! Brian, our guide, was fun, friendly and full of knowledge. We saw lots of comb jellies and some phytoplankton. We had a view of the Kennedy space Center with Artimus ready for launch! It was so quiet and peaceful! We heard drum fish and saw night herron! No gators(thank you very much) If you have never done this, you definitely need to put it on your bucket list.

We have only kayaked a...
We have only kayaked a couple of times previously but this was an enjoyable experience and a good physical workout. It includes some open water rowing but also some interesting maneuvering through mangrove trees. We saw dolphins and a variety of birds but no manatee. Our guide gave kayaking instructions before we got into our kayak. She seemed quite knowledgeable about the area but spoke in
an “indoor” voice which was hard for us to hear. But it. Is a nature preserve so one doesn’t want to disturb the wild life with loud noise I guess,

I Surf!
Francesco & Taylor were the greatest guys! Great communication and Taylor was a fantastic teacher giving several options to mastering the pop-up which really helped 58 y/o me get it! My 20 y/o son was up & running right away and had a blast. Super laid-back, spent extra time with us and just a couple of kind people who love what they do. One of my best experiences ever!

An Amazing Family Adventure
This tour was amazing! We saw manatees, dolphins, alligators and many birds. The kayaking was easy and the water was calm. Our guide Terrance was very knowledgeable and told us a lot of history of the area and about the wildlife. He even took photos of us throughout the adventure for no additional cost. This was the perfect way to spend our Thanksgiving day!

I took the mangrove...
I took the mangrove tunnel tour and had Erin as my tour guide. She is so knowledgeable about nature and I learned so much! She made it so fun and really went the extra mile to find any manatee. We didn’t see any but we did see a dolphin! It was so fun, would definitely recommend this tour.

Fabulous
So many dolphins to enjoy!!! As soon as we pulled out from the dock, we saw dolphins, including two babies. Once we crossed to the Banana river, the dolphins were jumping and playing. A most amazing experience! Captain Jen and Captain Jack were both great. Captain Jack provided an interesting narrative, and Capt. Jen kindly allowed our three-year-old grandchild to “steer“ the boat. Very memorable experience for our entire family!

The Great Outdoor Kayak Adventure!!
It was a windy evening trip with a great guide, Gabby. Very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, and polite and fun as well. I would highly recommend it. Though we only saw a couple of manatees from a distance, we actually knew that we might not see any due to the weather coming in. My whole family had a wonderful time, and for a lot of information on some other areas to access for wildlife viewing and camping. Launch and return area was well equipped and easy to get to. Communications through email were great, so just remember to read them..lol. And the photos and movies taken as added bonus were great memories.
