5.00Ask for James! This trip was fantastic. James knew all the things. We saw manatees, dolphins, pink winged bird, blue cranes and brown seagulls. We left knowing so much more about the beautiful lagoon we were kayaking on. This trip is good for littles and Goldies! Book Now!!!!

5.00This was an awesome tour. It was pretty windy but Ian still went above and beyond to find dolphins and manatees for us. The tour through the mangroves was great. I would definitely do this again.
Unique & Fun Experience

5.00We were a group of 4 senior citizens joined by a younger couple. Susie was our guide. She did a great job of keeping us together even when one of us had difficulty paddling against the wind, by towing her kayak behind hers. She pointed out & explained the nature around us. Two of us were able to see a manatee, but no dolphins. The mangrove tunnels made the trip a wonderful & unique experience.

5.00Cocoa Kayaking offers a great experience! We had James as a tour guide and he was very personable and knowledgeable about the biodiversity of the Banana River. We saw Manatees (which were mating - awesome) and the experience of the Mangrove tunnels was crazy cool! Definitely recommend!
