What To Expect
Paddle through the canals and keep your eyes open for playful dolphins and gentle manatees who call these waters home. Manatees are known as the gentle giants of the sea, and they are curious creatures who love to come up to kayakers for a closer look! You may even be able to pet one. Dolphins are equally playful and often swim right by your kayak. You might even get the chance to witness the Bottlenose Dolphin in the act of predation. Our tour guides are wildlife experts and can point out each creature and teach you a little something along the way. Florida-Adventurer is a locally owned and operated company that offers multiple launch times, once in a lifetime experiences, and small group intimate excursions. See nature up close with our Manatee and Dolphin Kayaking Tour. Our guides know the right places to watch dolphins preying on baitfish, and it's not uncommon to witness these resident dolphins breach the water's surface. This incredible sight is a true testament to the natural beauty and wonder of the Florida Space coast. This area is one of the most bio diverse ecosystems in the northern hemisphere! Paddle your way through beauty and wonder.

Lovely and memorable experience

5.00Javier was a fantastic kyak guide, very relaxed but focused on safety and our comfort. We booked a noon tour for four, two adults and two teens, and lucked out with our last minute trip and weather. We were able to see manatees, dolphins, and other wildlife up close. Javier went out of his way to personalize our experience since we were a small group, and shared a lot of information about the animals, and the history of the area. The route was beautiful and peaceful. He let us take our time and soak it all in. We had a great view of the Space Coast launch pad in the distance from the peaceful water, and we all relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. We would definately return and recommend. Leave early enough to enjoy the nature of the drive and not be rushed, and write down the name of the company as there are multiple kyak companies there. I feel confidant we chose the best, between quality and affordability. Use sunscreen, including shoulders and legs. Thank you Javier, for giving our family such a positive and memorable experience.
Memories were had!

5.00Terence was amazing! Full of knowledge and experience. I am a lover of history and a researcher by nature and Terence was a 5 star! He was able to get us up close and personal with the manatees. The wind kept the dolphins away but no disappointment fr the experience we had. Thank you for the memories. R&D

5.00Javier was a wonderful guide, lead us to an area where four or more manatees were active. We stayed about 30 feet away so we would not disturb them, but could clearly hear them exhale as they surfaced! Amazing! We also saw a few dolphins in the Haulover channel and a few more in the Indian River. Javier knows a lot about the manatees and even showed us comb jellies.
Splendid experience

5.00My wife and I toured with Brian. The tour began with us driving to the wrong location and arriving a little late. We phoned ahead, and Brian was kind enough to wait for us. He began the tour by asking us what we’d like to try to see and what we might like to avoid seeing - so he could tailor the trip to our interests. Brian’s knowledge of the various plants and animals was outstanding. We kayaked amidst several playful dolphins. We saw several types of birds and jumping fish. Also we were able to get a fairly close and unobstructed look at a gator sunning itself. Aside from nature, and admittedly from a distance, we could also see the space center and rocket launch towers. Peacefully splendid time on the water.
Highly recommended! Terrance was great!

5.00Terrance was a great guide and we saw dolphins playing, 2 large gators on the shore, a manatee passed by and even saw a sea turtle, which Terrance said was very rare. Such a peaceful experience. Would highly recommend!

5.00If you want a unique Florida experience, this is it! Our guide, Bryan/Brian made our visit truly magical. You can tell he loves what he does - and he is full of knowledge of the area. We saw a dolphin right away, as we were pulling up to the waters, and he knew exactly where to take us for us to be surrounded by curious manatees that poke their heads out and swim right underneath your kayak! We even got to see an alligator! Bryan is warm, funny, and kind. I loved seeing the area through his eyes and expertise. A definite recommend!
Amazing experience to see wildlife with expert guide

5.00Brian was an excellent guide, completely expert about the local and regional wildlife. We had amazing encounters with manatees in a safe, yet up-and-personal way. We also saw dolphins and an alligator. I would absolutely do the exact same experience many times over again.
Wonderful day

5.00Our guide Terence was wonderful . It was a cooler day, but it was beautiful on the water . He knew a lot about the history of where we were, apologized that we didn't see manatees, not his fault that the water was cold. We felt like he truly enjoyed taking us. We will go back again. It is a beautiful kayak tour
