5.00We had an amazing experience! It was a perfect day and we saw manatees, dolphins, so many different kinds of birds and traveled through some mangrove tunnels. Joe was our guide and he was so fun and knowledgeable. He even gave us suggestions for places to eat in Cocoa Beach.
Awesome kayaking experience.

5.00We tried a few different tour companies in the area and this was by far the best. Skip the clear bottom boats, you don't actually see much through them and they are uncomfortable to paddle in. Our guide was great and funny. We saw dolphins, and had Manatees pushing and nuzzling our kayaks. Amazing experience!
Great time! Safe, educational fun!

5.00Joe was a great guide who patiently guided our group through the calm, shallow waters of the lagoon. He took very good pictures of us on the tour. We’re enjoying the photos shared within our group and the memories that go with them.
Yes you can Kayak. Just call Eyden.
