4.00James was great. Enjoyed our trip. We didn’t see manatees but that was out of our control. Go in the spring to see them.

5.00James was an excellent tour guide. He was aware of the skill level of the participants and was knowledgeable of the plants and animals on the excursion. We really enjoyed going through the mangroves. We didn't see a lot of animals, but it was still really fun. I would recommend it.
Amazing experience kayaking in the mangrove tunnels!

5.00James was a really good guide, very knowledgeable and took time to respond to all our questions. Kayaking through the mangrove tunnels and between the islands was a beautiful experience! We didn’t see Manatees or dolphins but seeing barnacles on the roots, the large pelicans and diving birds, pelican covered trees, mullet fish, mangrove tunnels all make an amazing ecosystem. Would do it again!

5.00My husband and I were on vacation in Cocoa Beach and we decided to book this excursion. We choose the 9 am tour, for what we thought, to have the best chance of seeing the wildlife wake up for breakfast, lol. The tour did not disappoint, we saw dolphins, a couple of manatees, pelicans, and some small fish. The tunnel of mangroves were beautiful and a cool experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and vegetation. He was laid back and made the trip fun. A must do if you are visiting Cocoa Beach!
Love!!!! Best ever!

5.00We had an amazing experience with Cocoa Kayaking! Our guide, James, was absolutely fantastic, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area and made the whole trip so enjoyable. He pointed out so many different types of birds along the way, and we even got to see dolphins up close, which was definitely a highlight of the tour. James was super friendly and patient, making sure we were all comfortable and having fun. The mangrove tunnels were beautiful, and paddling through them felt peaceful and serene. Overall, I highly recommend this tour if you're in the area. James really made the experience special, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide.
Super fun guided kayak tour!

5.00Our family had a terrific time kayaking through the mangroves and learning about the beautiful wildlife and ecosystems here. James was a great tour guide: the perfect balance of helpful, knowledgeable, and easy-going fun. The manatees were hiding today, but we did see dolphins and many beautiful birds, but not to mention beautiful trees and greenery. Such fun!
Wonderful Christmas Day on the water

5.00We had an amazing trip out with our guide Michael - he knew so much about the wildlife, flora and fauna - it ended up being just our family and it was the perfect way to spend Christmas morning - the manatee were shy today but the birds and dolphins wished us a Merry Christmas - highly recommend if looking for a fun outdoor activity away from the crowds…
