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.

5.00Jeremiah was a fun tour guide but he was also super safe. We learned several interesting facts about the local wildlife. The manatees like to come out for him and know his voice. He also knows a lot about the local birds. It was a great kayak tour and we would recommend Jeremiah to our friends.
Awesome!

5.00I don't remember the name of our guide, but he was terrific: very well versed in the area and facts about the manatee. We did not have to wait very long to start our tour and it was not cut short. He knew exactly where to find large numbers of manatees. We were very pleased and will use Florida Adventurer again.

5.00Terrence was our guide and he was 100% awesome! He has a passion for what he does and was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, manatees, dolphins and all sorts of Florida wildlife. We were blessed to see many manatees and 2 dolphins on our outing. Terrence was patient and attentive to our family during this whole experience and to top it off he took video and pictures for us (and sent them via a cloud link afterwards) so that we could put all of our focus on the wildlife and our kids experiencing these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. Definately take your tour with this outfitter and ask for Terrance!

2.00My husband , daughter and I went on the dolphin / manatee tour in May, Brian was our guide and was absolutely amazing and informative . We got to see so many manatee and some dolphins , kayak through mangroves and out to the open and saw the space center . We decided to rebook a because we had family from Texas coming in and they have Not experienced anything like this before . We requested Brian again and was told his truck was down. We had a 9 am Saturday tour and was told there was a possibility the tour would get pushed till 10am, ( no problem ) I had asked since we were driving over a hour to let me know . We were not told anything different so Saturday we arrived promptly at 8:40 . At 9:10 gentleman arrived with kayaks , he mentioned that the tour was at 10 now and I should have been told . Another wonderful family of 8 arrived who they to were returning customers . We got out to the water and we kayaked down the channel not even a 1/2 mile to a boat launch ramp and sat in there for literally a hour and 10 mins . We asked about going out and he said he didn’t want his customers having to work to hard. We were all extremely disappointed that we just sat around in a launch ramp . Yes we did see some manatees ( nothing like may) but was embarrassed how we talked up this tour to our guests and just sat . Our guide was Terrence and highly DO NOT recommend him as a guide . I believe he thought he was funny and said to please leave a review and if it’s a 1 star his name was Hector . It would of been cheaper to drive to the boat ramp and sit there and watch the same thing .
Great trip and easy to work with this company. Knowledgeable tour guide.

5.00Had a fantastic trip with Jeremiah. He was very knowledgeable and a great guide. I appreciate when people enjoy their jobs. . We saw a lot of manatees up close. I thought they might tip us over, but fortunately they just swam right by our boat. We also saw a couple of dolphins as we ended our tour and many cool birds. Was definitely a fun time and highly recommend. My 13 year old animal lover really enjoyed it.
Awesome kayaking experience!!

5.00My family and I had a great experience on our kayak adventure. My kids, 8 and 10, have never gone kayaking before and it has been a very long time since either me or my husband have gone. Our tour guide Brian was very patient with our inexperience. My 8 yr old was a little aggravated because he couldn't get it right in the beginning and was getting snippy, but Brian was able to help him out and my son was smiling by the end. Brian was very knowledgeable about the area, including waterways, native animals and plants, and typical animal behavior. I said I wanted to see manatees, and I definitely got to experience them up close! The area we went to was so peaceful and beautiful, I could have stayed there all day! This is a great experience for nature and wildlife lovers and for people who want to do something different and fun! Depending on the wind, you may have to paddle hard in some areas, but anyone can do it, and if you are having trouble, Brian will help you out! He really seems to love what he does and it showed during our trip. I definitely recommend if you are in the area!
