Easy pace experience

5.00This was an easy pace of kayaking which we really enjoyed. James was full of information not just about the sea life, but with the birds and local trees which made the experience very interesting. We were lucky to see some manatee and dolphins which made it even better. What topped it off was that James took all the pictures/videos of us and the sea life and emailed them to us. Highly recommend!
Beautiful kayak adventure

5.00We had a wonderful time on our kayaking experience. Our guides, Susie and Max, were fantastic, and we actually learned a lot while exploring the mangroves. We also got lucky and saw several manatees during our trip, which made the adventure even more special. My family would definitely do this kayaking trip again—we highly recommend it!
Gators, Manatees, Dolphins, and birds galore!

5.00Highly recommend Cocoa Kayaking! I needed a same-day booking, and their online chat team responded instantly to book me for the 6:00 PM Thousand Islands sunset tour. (As a Hawaii local, I loved seeing the familiar area code!) The launch site was a quick drive from my hotel in Melbourne-Viera. Our guide, Ian, was super chill and went out of his way to help our small group spot manatees. Paddling into the mangrove tunnels was a neat highlight—just bring mosquito spray! We had some wind to fight on the way out, but a nice, easy paddle with the wind at our backs on the way return. I had a great time!
Great time on the water
